Heh heh, well both browsers are guilty of that stuff. I'll bet they don't
even
test these cases thoroughly. Most people are still putting submit buttons
on
their forms; heck some people still blindly put the reset button on their
forms.
Anyway, I couldn't find anything in the W3C HTML spec that says a form
should
be submitted when hitting return, so make of that what you will.
Hopefully DOM level 3 will actually tell us what the key event names should
be
so they don't have to come up with their own anymore. :)
