I want to use the following anchor to submit a form with jquery to Spring. How is this done?

<a target= title= class= href=>Save</a>

I've tried this, where requestNew is my form:

 $(document).ready(function(){

  $(a).click(function(){

     $(#requestNew).submit(function(){

         $.post(../acctRequests, $(#requestNew).serialize());

      });

  });

 });

It doesn't seem to go anywhere.

You are adding a new event handler; all you need to do is trigger the existing ones, and the browser's native functionality:

$(document).ready(function(){

  $(a).click(function(){

     $(#requestNew).submit();

  });

});
