Thanks -
I found several methods on SO that involved manipulation of the OUTPUT from
web2py that gets rendered in the browser. Implemented a solution that was
very specific to the forms that I want to have filled in.
I had hoped for a web2py specific way to manage the submit button behavior
because of this observed behavior:
- In web2py, for list fields, enter adds a new value to the list
- in web2py, for text fields, enter creates a line break in the
input.
These are great behaviors but they put the users into the habit of pressing
enter and the fields that I was validating are not amenable to an a-priori
decision about whether the form is completely filled in or not as blank
fields are acceptable and common.
Ultimately, I disabled the enter key on a field-by-field basis using jquery
and left the behavior as-is for any field with list in the name.
Thanks for the suggestions!

IMHO disabling enter is not a solution (I'm a keyboard guy and I love to
send forms with enter): at the very minimum you should do a proper
validation (server-side with web2py is easy). The most elegant way is to
disable the submit button via javascript until all required fields are
filled.
