Hi Joe,

Thanks for the response.  I checked the form, and unfortunately it did have
the closing quote.  Based on your suggestion, I tried a few other
combinations of "/'//>, but nothing seemed to make it work.

I read a couple more sites, and apparently this is how IE works (other
browsers act differently - apparently Mozilla sends the name of the button
if you are in a textbox but not if you are in a checkbox or radio?!).  It
looks like the thinking behind this design is that if the user explicitly
clicks on a submit button, you know what should they intended.  If the user
presses enter, you don't necessarily know what's intended (but this is silly
since the first submit button is highlighted by default).  Oh well; doesn't
matter since that's the way it works.

The ugly workaround that I did was put a hidden field on the form named
defaultmethod with a value containing the name of the first submit on the
form and used that in doPerform to get the proper method to execute (sort of
a combination of the responses from J�rgen and Peter).  Pretty
disappointing, but there HAD to be something wrong with the way actions
worked ;)

Thanks for all the help everyone,

David

Just a guess, but, I've seen that exact problem when the name attribute of
the input (type="submit") is missing a closing quote.
i.e.
<input type="submit" name="eventSubmit_doFoo value="Press Me">

Press the button, it works fine.  Press "enter", the name of the submit is
not sent.

HTH,
Joe
