Dan,
Very interesting thought. I have always done my input elements like
this:
<input type="submit" name="btn_sumbit" value="Submit" />
<input type="submit" name="btn_cancel" value="Cancel" />
and if I wanted "btn_cancel" to be the default button, I would have to
put it first in the form. Your example of the input elements gives me
another method to try. Thank you.
