I have a form on my website, and with Firefox when I hit "Enter" after filling in some fields the form is automatically processed as if the user hit the submit button.
But in IE, nothing happens when you hit "Enter". How can I make it so that in IE when a user hits "Enter" the form is submitted?

Can you give us a link to the form? Or just the HTML code? That should show us the problem.

Well its just a basic form...
something like
It's not a "problem" like there is a bug with the form. It's just IE doesn't automatically push submit when someone hits enter after typing something into the text field, and I would like it to. Firefox does.

Hi.
I just tried your simple sample form above and it worked fine in both IE and FF. However I tried it on a more complex with multiple fields and different field types (select list and radio buttons) and it did work in either IE or FF. I'm not sure there is much you can do about this.
Kind regards,
Andrew

Usually using an input type="submit" as a function call automatically makes the form submit by pressing enter... I agree there are some issues on this, the only thing to make sure it submits is using javascript, something like an onKeypress event...
function catchEnter(e) {
if (!e) var e = window.event;
if (e.keyCode) code = e.keyCode;
else if (e.which) code = e.which;
if (code==13) {
//submit the form code etc...
}
}
