How do I set up a web page so that when I press Enter, it will submit a form? The form right now is using an image as the submit button instead of a usual text button.
thanks,

if you only have one form on the page the default behaviour of the enter button is to submit the form:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="somepage.asp" method=get>
<input type=text name="text1"><br>
<input type=text name="text2"><br>
<input type=image src="logo.gif">
</form>
</body>
</html>
the following example shows that when you press the enter key in either text field it will submit the form even with an image submit
If there is more than 1 form, depending on which form element has focus, that corresponding form will be submitted
when the enter key is pressed. (IE5)

Here's a more detailed description of the issue:
I have 1 form on a web page. The form has two buttons. One is a plain textual button. The other button is an image. The textual button is assigned a JavaScript function and will is not supposed to submit the form. The image button is the button that should be submitting the form. However, when I press Enter in the form, the browser will treat it as clicking on the textual button (performing the JavaScript). How do I set up the form so that pressing Enter tells the browser to click on the image button and thus, submitting the form?
thanks,
don

would it be possible to see the relevant code because when i add a text button to the code above it still submits the form.
