I'm with Wade on this one.... I would expect that I would have been bitten 
by this by now.

I know that when you have _multiple_ submit buttons in a form, that it 
only sends the one that was actually clicked, but with a _single_ submit 
button, maybe it does send it anyway?

I wonder what the browser does in a multiple-submit button page if you hit 
enter...

I also wonder what it does in terms of javascript... if you have a single 
submit button form, and hit enter, it knows you mean that submit button, 
but would it run the onclicks or not? In other words, how directly is the 
enter key translated to a mouse click on the submit button?

Anyone want to do some testing?
