Submitting a form directly from a field (recognizing characters)...

Hi all

I have a form setup that has a button being used as the submit button (not using the input type="image", but an anchor over an image that initiates a validation function). I am now trying to have that sequence initiated as soon as a user enters data into the final field and hits enter (to simulate the feeling people are used to in forms). I have seen some scripts in this forum that deal with this by character recognition, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to deal with it, and all of their scripts seem to deal with NS/IE problems. Also, they are a bit convoluted and I have trouble deciphering them enough to adapt them to my uses. I guess I'm really asking two questions: is character recognition the best way to solve my problem, and - if so - how would I go about doing that?

Thanks

Ben
