So someone can either submit the form *or* click on the link to go
to that page?

Something like this will work on NS4, NS6, IE5:

<script type="text/javascript">

	var foo = "http://some.default.url/";

	function qOpen()
	{
		window.location = foo;
	}	

</script>

<a href="javascript://;" onclick="qOpen();return false;">a link</a>

<form method="post" action="/whatever/process.cgi">

	<input type="text" onblur="foo=this.value;" />
	<input type="submit" value=" submit " />
</form>

HTH!
