I used HTMLgen a few time ago and I almost didn't ever use the "auto-submit 
button" feature of the Form class. This is annoying, and as you pointed it 
out, you can't control where the button will be placed (not to mention some 
forms do not even have a submit button, since form submitting can be made 
via Javascript...).

So my advice would be: do not follow the rules in the manual ("Do not 
manually append your submit button. HTMLgen will append it for you.") and 
do:

myForm = Form(..., submit='')

then create your own submit button via the Input class with the type 
"submit". This is much easier this way...
