Does a submit button have to be in the form itself

Hi folks,

looking to see if you can help me out here, I've created the attached design for my site, but when doing so I forgot to think that the form where the user would enter the information would actually have to contain the submit / proceed button.

On the attached design theres room to add the button to the from but on some other pages i have the form is pretty much full of text boxes thus theres no room to add the button, does this mean its back to the drawing board or is it possible to use php / javascript to get the button to submit the form,

Cheers

Tim

Submit buttons are part of the form ... so yeah ... you kind of need it

How do plan to submit information without a submit button?! How will the users know what to click to submit? Rule of thumb in web design is "Don't make your users think!"
