Another method could be to capture the 'ENTER' keypress and ignore it, forcing users to click on the desired SUBMIT button. If this causes hassle for users what about adding a function to your form fields capturing keypresses and when ENTER is hit run the appropriate form submit process. Bit of a headache for big forms. May confuse users though! Good luck. Simon. -----Original Message----- Clark C . Evans <cce@clarkevans.com> wrote: > How do I specify that a particular button is > the default submit button? You can't, because HTML has no concept of a 'default submit button'. This is specifically an Internet Explorer problem. To get around the problem you could use hidden or dummy submit/image form controls to 'swallow' the enter-submission (which could then be routed to a different button using JavaScript).
