I want to send something by POST to another page but want the link to be a hyperlink not a submit button - is there a way of doing this?
Thanks.

No. Data sent on a hyperlink can only be sent by GET.

You can use client side code with an onClick event.
That method relies on the visitor having JavaScript enabled, but it works.
Technically this is not a hyperlink anymore, so sleipnir214 answered your question correctly.

Code:
<a href="#" onClick="document.myform.submit();">Send data</a>- Status
