You could use javascript, but perhaps a more elgant solution would be to
style the submit button using CSS:

<style type='text/javascript'>
input.link
{
	border: 0px;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
	color: #0000FF;
	text-decoration: underline;
}
</style>

<input type='submit' class='link' value='Submit Form' />
