Pressing enter to submit form

Hi. I have a user who wants his form submitted when he presses [Enter].
Is it possible? If so, how?

That is the default behaviour for forms with a submit button in both IE
and Firefox (and by extension I guess, without testing, Mozilla et al).

Do you have a particular browser that doesn't do it? From memory, old
Netscape only submitted if the submit button was in focus.

I think it is the norm for [Enter] to submit the form. Check that there
are no JS errors or too much complexity in the form if it does not
work,

Here is form wth multiple text fields that I made which submits fine on
the [Enter]

so look at the code - its ordinary with some js validation of the
fields

??? On most forms, I've alway had click the submit button with the mouse
cursor. Never could seem to [Tab] to one so I could hit [enter].

He wants [Enter] to submit the form, regardless of which input field he
is on...Dennis

As Rob wrote correctly, the latter is the default behavior in all recent
browsers. Without answering the questions that might clarify this, it
is unlikely someone here is able to help you, let alone going to do so.
