Using display:none causes the browser (Safari, anyway) to ignore the button when it's looking for the first submit button in a form.

style="visibility:hidden" does not have this behavior.

Probably the best way to ensure it doesn't mess up your layout is to give it a position:fixed attribute. This will remove it from the flow of the rest of the document. So, the final button might look like this:

<input type="submit" style="position:fixed;visibility:hidden;"/>

I'd go with display: none over visibility: hidden. The former will not take up any screen space. Visibility: hidden can do odd things to the screen real-estate.

CSS - for when HTML, JavaScript, and Java hacking are just not bad enough

If you use Project Wonder, this is an option on WOForm (ERXWOForm, which gets patched in as WOForm) ... You can either pass in addDefaultSubmitButton = true, or set er.extensions.ERXWOForm.addDefaultSubmitButtonDefault = true in Properties and it will make a hidden submit button like Sam talks about.

Yeah, but this:

<input type=\"submit\" style=\"position: absolute; left: -100px; top: -1000px; \" name=\"WOFormDummySubmit\" value= \"WOFormDummySubmit\" />"

should perhaps really be a 'style="visibility: hidden;" thing. As far as I know, you can get really weird results with the positioning thing above. But there might be advantages of the stuff above I don't see - it just gave us some headache a couple of months ago where this submit button came from that broke our css layout ... ;-)
