What I don't understand from your above is why MSIE has no problems with
eBay's pages which have different querries executed depending on where
you are when you hit enter (but Netscape Navigator at work requires me
to hit the submit button).

| (...) Hmm. Some possibilities: - eBay using VBScript-denhanced forms detecting the use of the Enter key? - MS fixed the UI bug post-MSIE3 and Netscape added it post-4.7? What versions of those two browsers are you running? --Todd (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
