However, as mentioned here multiple-submit is a workaround at
best. HTML provides no "built-in" support for the concept.
Obviously you wouldn't want to completely rely on the hidden image
button workaround, just like you wouldn't want to completely rely
on multiple-submit itself.
I would have to disagree to a degree here (as I try to remember back
to my pre-WO days). You can put as many submit buttons as you want
in a standard HTML form, but the form can only submit to one URL.
Each submit button can have a different value that is submitted along
with the rest of the form values, so you can tell which submit button
was pressed. Behind the scenes, this is what WO is doing when you
tell it the form has multiple submit buttons. The only thing that's
not really defined, but seems to be the case, is that the first
submit button is the one called when Enter is pressed within a text
field in the form. I think the only way to be absolutely certain of
the behavior would be to implement the previously mentioned
javascript solution.
If designed correctly your application can benefit from this
workaround. If your "default" action could have undesirable
effects then it should be backed by a confirmation panel anyway.

worse-case I have coded all submit actions to produce recoverable
events if
a fault were to happen. And I'm using that handy tip to remove it
from the
tab-order as well (thanks again guys).
Did I mention it has to work in a micro-browser on the
University's PDA/Cell
Phone(s)? Sure to turn the simplest app into a four week project :)
Thanks for your input - everyone.

So if one had the need to make it appear that the "default" button
should be the second or third button in the form, wouldn't it be
possible to create this "hidden" image button at the top of the
form and bind its action to the same action as the one you want for
your "default" action?
Chuck or someone with greater experience may correct me, but I do
fear the behaviour of a multi-submit form when an Enter is
pressed in
some field is undefined at the HTML level, and essentially each
browser may interpret the event in a different way (say, browser A
would always take the very first submit of the form, whilst
browser B
would always take the first button after the textfield in which the
Enter was pressed).
Therefore, I am afraid that if you need a consistent behaviour of
Enter, there are only two solutions:
(a) single-submit form;
(b) JavaScript.
