Replacing Submit Button with text link?

[jip]

Is there a way to accomplish the same thing as <input type='submit' value='Submit'> using an anchor tag?

Nope, not reliably. You could use an image instead if you don't like the
standard button, but don't forget the alt attribute to keep the form
accessible.

You can use javascript like

<a href="javascript:document.formname.submit()">foo</a>

But don't do such stunts without providing a fallback in case JS is not
available. Nothing is more annoying than a dead link, and IMHO the
javascript: pseudo-protocol is dead by design.

IMHO, the time to worry is when javascript is disabled by default in IE.

Doing it properly so that it works regardless of the JS setting is quite
simple. It makes no sense to build sites that annoy some users because
of non-working links or other accessibility issues.
