i want a anchor should act like and input type submit button.
i am using a jquery plugin library that actually uses input type submit but i have styled my buttons on anchors. i dont want to use

<input type=button>

or

<input type=submit>

i want to use anchors such as

<a href=javascript to submit the form ></a>

and here is my jquery code where i want to use

 {

     var submit = $('<button type=submit />');

     submit.html(settings.submit);                            

 }

 $(this).append(submit);

 }

 if (settings.cancel) {

     /* if given html string use that */

     if (settings.cancel.match(/>$/)) {

         var cancel = $(settings.cancel);

         /* otherwise use button with given string as text */

     } else {

         var cancel = $('<button type=cancel />');

how to use anchors instead of button.
