You'll need to throw in some javascript. Instead of a submit button, do something like this:
You can name your form something other than 'myform'.

DON'T do it with Javascript - not everyone has it switched on when browsing, and such people won't be able to use your form.
Instead, use an image control:
[tt]
<input type="image" src="submit.gif" name="submit">
[/tt]
Note that this won't return a value in the "submit" parameter, the same way that this tag would:
[tt]
<input type="submit" name="submit">
[/tt]
What it does return is values in parameters "submit.x" and "submit.y" that indicate where on the image the user clicked. You probably won't care, but a check to see if, say, "submit.x" has a value will tell you if that particular image was clicked.

I should have done more research. I also found out you can do this:
I don't know how compatible this method is, but it works in IE6 and Mozilla.
