Rails, how do you submit a form with a text link?

Question

I am trying to get this form to submit correctly. Here\'s what I have so far:

<% form_for(:user, :url => update_user_setting_path, :remote => true, :htm

You don't need to use an id or a selector if you have jquery, you can simply do :

= link_to 'Save', "#", onclick: "$(this).closest('form').submit()"
