If you want instead of adding event to button in custom form to add ajax to some link (javascript function) here is how you can do it: 

function show(options)
         {
           $('update').innerHTML = '<div align=".'"center"'.">
  <img src="/.'"images/ajax-loader.gif" width="66" height="66"/>'."<p/>Please wait</div>'
           var ajaxRequest = new Ajax('index.php', {
                   method: 'get',
                   onComplete: function(response) {
                       $('update').innerHTML = response;
                   }
               });
               ajaxRequest.request(options);
}

 

Where options are variables which you sent through ajax, for example:

<a onclick="show('option=com_regdavzav&task=result&format=raw&pageNumber=2&naziv=ANGEL')" href="#">2</a>
