it seems like #frmToDo still posts backs

<form id="frmToDo" name="frmToDo">
    ...
    <a id="btnSubmit" href="javascript:document.frmToDo.submit();">Add</a>

google.load("jquery", 1);
google.load("jqueryui", 1);

google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
    ...

    $("#frmToDo").submit(function() {
        return false;
...

why will this happen? might it be because of href="javascript:document.frmToDo.submit(). how can i submit the form with that link (i didnt use <input type="submit" /> because of styling problems, it seems like buttons are harder to style, esp in different browsers) the AJAX way?
