I think Jeff got it right, but explained it badly: if you wrap you fields inside a form, then when hitting Enter, the *browser* will submit the form. So all you have to do is to listen to the SubmitEvent on the FormPanel (and not the ClickEvent on the SubmitButton, which I believe not all browsers do dispatch in this case).

I don't see the relationship between layout panels and UiBinder. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
