I've seen this when the focus ends up on a combo box.  There is a hack
available that involves trapping the keydown event (onkeydown) on the
<select> tag and looking for the Enter key.  If this is not your specific
case then maybe you can adapt it.  I got this out a very good JS book:


<select name="SearchMode" searchModeKeyDown(event)">
...


<!--- detect Enter key on the dropdown and submit the form --->
function searchModeKeyDown(evt) {
evt = (evt) ? evt : event;
var charCode = (evt.charCode) ? evt.charCode : ((evt.which) ? evt.which :
evt.keyCode);
if ((charCode == 13) || (charCode == 3)) {
  DoSearchBoxSubmit();
  return false;
}
return true;
}

run across this before?

That is up to the user agent. Some do, some don't.
