How to submit form with enter key..

Sorry about that, it was a typo. What I wanted to say is the following:
Right now the user has to either tab down or click the "submit" button I created. I'd like to make this process easier by having the enter key act like the "submit" button.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I would use javascript onKeyPress. here's a example
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function submitenter(myfield,e)
{
var keycode;
if (window.event) keycode = window.event.keyCode;
else if (e) keycode = e.which;
else return true;
if (keycode == 13)
{
myfield.form.submit();
return false;
}
else
return true;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<body>
<FORM ACTION="blah.asp">
name: <INPUT NAME=realname SIZE=15><BR>
password: <INPUT NAME=password TYPE=PASSWORD SIZE=10
onKeyPress="return submitenter(this,event)"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Log In">
</FORM>
this is from I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.

Is there a variation for VBS - esp. where a cmd button already has an event action assigned? Two questions in one here, I guess. 1) how to make a cmd button event fire by the enter key, 2) is it possible to include two event actions in the <input type="button" ...> definition? TY!
try using the onKeypress event etc. to detect the enter key and submit on this critiria. do this via javascript.
