help ! form submission question

[AM]

Hi all,
I am trying to get multiple submit buttons to work on my form. The
problem I am facing is that the wrong one gets triggered by default
when the user presses enter from any one of two textboxes on the form.
Is there any way to set that using html? I cannot use javascript for
my solution. Right now it seems that it is the first submit button on
the page that gets submitted and not the second like I want.

thanks
AM

why cant you use javascript - the only solution i see is to set the focus on
the form that you want to submit.

It is a client requirement that the site work with javascript disabled.
There is only one form on the page. The focus will be on a control on the
form i.e. text box.
There are two of these text boxes. when I type something in any one of these
text boxes and press enter I want it to submit using the SECOND image-submit
button on the page and not the first.

Why are there 2 submit buttons if there is only one form?

Reverse <input/> elements position in the code, then re-arrange them
visually with a stylesheet [right-floating first button].

The theory is that the server-side program that processes the form can tell
the difference between a submit button and some other method for submitting
the form by whether the name=value pair for a submit button was included in
the submitted data.

The practice is that common browsers ignore this, and act as though the
first submit button was used when the form is submitted some other way.

The workaround is to make sure the first submit button does something
innocuous, such as allowing the user to preview the data they just entered.

I have to adhere to requirements regarding what the buttons do Well I
managed to do what I wanted with a bit of a hack. I put in a 1x1 transparent
gif image submit before everything else. It is too small to find ( I
couldn't ! ) and it gets triggered when the user presses enter.
