For better semantics and graceful degradation, I suggest you do this:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('form input[type="submit"]').replaceWith('
Submit the form by clicking this
'); // replace submit button with div

    $('.submit').live('click', function() {  
        $(this).closest('form').submit();
    });
});

This way, your form remains usable for clients without JS.

That being said: Just style your input to look the way you want it to with CSS ;)
