Tabbing behavior and link submit buttons

I've built a form which uses a link, coupled with a jQuer开发者_开发百科y command to submit the form, as the submit button. Everything works dandy except for tabbing — when navigating the form with the tab key the submit link just gets skipped over. Is there any way to fix that?

I would guess it's the tabindex (or at least it might be). If you tab long enough do you eventually get to the correct link? If you do you can just manually set the tab index with element.tabIndex
