Hi,

can I associate the pressing of "enter" with one of the forms submit
buttons?

Thanks
Magnus

Browsers that can do that tend to do so automatically. There's nothing in
the HTML spec that would allow you to force it.

Thank you! This is what I expected.

A customer of mine claims that the in current version of a web application
the usage of "Enter" does not work anymore, while it did so in the past. In
fact, I never implemented such a behavior. But it's difficult for the
customer to understand that this is *not* a bug.

Bye
Magnus
