Hello,
I'm using build 2000012309 in Linux and I've noticed that on forms with a submit
button, I have to go and click on the submit button for it to actually submit
the form.
I understand this is how NN 4 works. However, IE allows the user to hit the
enter key anywhere on the form to activate this button. From my experience,
users seem to like this. It would be nice if Mozilla would emulate this
behaviour, providing it doesn't break any W3C spec.
I've marked this as an enhancement request, not a bug.
Thanks
David

Moving to "Form Submission" component from "Browser-General".
The only problem with this is that accidentally hitting <ENTER> while
in the middle of filling out the form would submit an incomplete form,
something that can be troublesome if the form is not checked or from-checking
is not perfect.

Perhaps you could use Ctrl+Enter to force the form to submit?
Also, should submit form appear on a menu and/or the forms toolbar?
You could cascade the menu to show the values for multiple submit buttons.

This is really a dup of bug 22526. Frequently people request pressing Enter to
submit the form in all cases instead of just the "only one text input" case.
Please attach any discussion of this decision to that bug report. Thanks!
