This was a recent question that got some good, quick, answers.  :-)

I'm wondering about another of those behaviors/configs I've SEEN but
haven't the foggiest about how to do it.  Seem like some Forms will do
the SUBMIT action when you either click the button or if you press
[RETURN].  Others won't transmit, until you click SUBMIT.

How do you do this? Seems to me that it's not tied to the browser, since
I can do it on some sites, and not on others.  I'd appreciate collective
wisdom on this....

Thanks,
