It sounds like maybe you've created a form that has multiple submit buttons
that also have a name attribute:
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Submit" />
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Cancel" />
If that's correct, then if the user submits the form using the [ENTER] key,
the POST data shouldn't contain a variable called "action", so just perform
the desire if the user didn't click the button.
Adding event handling for this is overkill.
