Having said that, I am getting a crooked idea!
You can create a button thru the Studio and make everything work the way you
want. As the last step, put a code in onBeforeHtmlOutput of the button that
goes and changes the tag from >> TYPE=SUBMIT <<
to >> TYPE=HIDDEN <<
The button will disappear and as long as you don't have another button in
the page, any Submit will go thru the button_onWebEvent()
