I've been experimenting with this (see this for example http://www.web2pyslices.com/slice/show/1928/basic-inline-editing-in-sqlformgrid-no-plugin-method) The slice shows how to add a submit button, process the submit and also how to use web2py widgets to make grid elements in-line editable.
Regarding submit buttons: the grid has forms. You can add a submit button with web2py helpers, but it won't work because browsers see nested forms, and they basically reject a submit button added after the grid. However, you can make a separate form with nothing it it except a submit button, and user your view to display it immediately after your grid. Better though is to use the SQLFORM.grid 'selectable' keyword to get a submit button. You'll end up with checkboxes per row; if you don't want those, have a look at my slice to see how to remove them. This submit button is part of the grid and therefore should give you no styling issues.
