Button Href to press submit button
Question
I was just wondering how to go about getting a href to press a button.I want to get btn btn primary when pressed to: press the submit button.
<BODY>
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="#Home"><span class="fui-time"></span></a>
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="#School"><span class="fui-time"></span></a>
<form>
<input type="submit" name="options" id="Home" value="1" />Home
<input type="submit" name="options" id="School" value="2" />School
<input type="submit" name="options" id="Work" value="3" />Work
</form>
</BODY>
Thank-you.Also if you could also provide a in-depth explanation that would be great as I sort of new to javascript.
PS: Is there any way to do it without using the function onClick()

With jQuery:
$('.btn.btn-primary').click(function (ev) {
$(this.href).click();
ev.preventDefault();
});
Although I would say your markup and structure are quite strange, you want to have submit buttons and then links that cause those buttons to be clicked??

try this
<BODY>
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="#Home" onClick="formSubmit()"><span class="fui-time"></span></a> <a class="btn btn-primary" href="#School" onClick="formSubmit()"><span class="fui-time"></span></a>
<form id="myform">
<input type="submit" name="options" id="Home" value="1" />
Home
<input type="submit" name="options" id="School" value="2" />
School
<input type="submit" name="options" id="Work" value="3" />
Work
</form>
</BODY>
<script type="text/javascript">
function formSubmit(){
$("#myform").submit();
}
</script>

You can execute javascript in a link like this <a href="javascript:alert('javascript go')">
Edit: as susheel pointed out this is not a good idea, its much better to just bind or use onClick to trigger the button click.
It would be better to do something like this:
<div onclick="document.myform.submit()"></div> (if you are submitting a form). There is no way to replace a button with another element with raw html. You will need to use javascript one way or another.

check the below fiddle:
$('.btn.btn-primary').on('click',function () {
$(this.href).click();
});
