Ondra,
Therefore, I am afraid that if you need a consistent behaviour of
Enter, there are only two solutions:
(a) single-submit form;
(b) JavaScript.
Yes, I understand your point here....
Even the concept of multiple-submits itself isn't necessarily
supported
100%, but I'm going to err in favor of my little hidden 2x2.gif and
test it
across several newer browsers and then accept it as working. And as a
However, as mentioned here multiple-submit is a workaround at best.
HTML provides no "built-in" support for the concept. Obviously you
wouldn't want to completely rely on the hidden image button
workaround, just like you wouldn't want to completely rely on
multiple-submit itself.
If designed correctly your application can benefit from this
workaround. If your "default" action could have undesirable effects
then it should be backed by a confirmation panel anyway.

from the
tab-order as well (thanks again guys).
Did I mention it has to work in a micro-browser on the University's
PDA/Cell
Phone(s)? Sure to turn the simplest app into a four week project :)
Thanks for your input - everyone.

your "default" action?
Chuck or someone with greater experience may correct me, but I do
fear the behaviour of a multi-submit form when an Enter is pressed in
some field is undefined at the HTML level, and essentially each
browser may interpret the event in a different way (say, browser A
would always take the very first submit of the form, whilst browser B
would always take the first button after the textfield in which the
Enter was pressed).
Therefore, I am afraid that if you need a consistent behaviour of
