submit on enter

[dawn_green]

MSIE generally submits a form when hitting "enter" when there is only one
text field on the form. I have an html page that uses two forms. One form contains a single combo box while the other, generated with PHP, has a combination of combo boxes and a single text field. Any single field from the latter form is all that is required for a successful submission. This second form's action is "$PHP_SELF." I want to force the user to press submit for the first (which works as expected) but want the second to submit on "enter." I have tried several javascripts to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you are sure your users are going to use MSIE you can get pretty fancy with event handlers. Most obvious is to handle the onkeypress event on each of the form input elements and submit the form in the eventhandler function if the enter key was pressed (evt.keyCode == 13).
