Form submission when hitting enter

Hi guys,

I have 2 fields and a button where users have to enter a username and
password. How do I set it so that my page gets submitted anywhere the
user clicks enter while filling out those forms? Right now you have to
click the button using your mouse or using TAB to bring it in focus.
But usually users put in their username -> TAB -> password and hit
enter.

Thanks
Maz.

You could use this free control to solve the problem.
