Did you try

  Form.submit()  

for the onclick even of the hyperlink..

I need POST request.

As far as my understanding, it all depends on the method you give in form tag..
So when you use onclick="document.someForm.submit();" for a hyperlink, it will submit the form using the method specified in the form tag..

can you give me a example?

Here is an example

 

<form action="next.jsp" method="POST" name="someForm">
<input type="text" name="t1" id="t1">
<input type="text" name="t2" id="t2">
< a href="#" onclick="document.someForm.submit();">Submit</a>
</form>
