That's nonsense. "javascript
:" is nonsense (see the FAQ) and nobody
can order without support for client-side scripting, although that would
not be necessary. Besides, the standards compliant reference would be
document.forms['bestellen'].submit();
If you have still problems with this, maybe the cause is that the "form"
element is located *after* the "link" or you may have tested with IE and
slided on the shared namespace of variables and element names/IDs in its DOM.

With which user agent have you tested?

The code is error-prone and unreliable. Use something like
<form
name="bestellen"
method="post"
action="myPage.cfm?ID=4300&do=action">
<input type="hidden" name="category" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="Product" value="423">
<input type="hidden" name="Price" value="15">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="basket">
<input type="hidden" name="Quantity" id="Quantity" value="1">
<input type="submit" value="Bestellen">
</form>
instead. (If you don't like the style of the "submit" button, you can
change that with CSS [e.g. you can make it look like a link if you like].
You can even use type="image" to use an image as submit button. In
contrast to your present code, a submit button will work everywhere
[although type="image" support is restricted to more recent browsers].)
