[Seaside] Making anchors to submit

[Sebastian Sastre]

Yes I'll try styling submit buttons like anchors. Other anchors only
underline while a:hover so my style challenge for that submit button will be
that. But I think a mouseover and mouse out adding and removing a custom css
class could do it.

	thanks,

Sebastian Sastre
