Be careful using values of submit buttons ... if the user hits return

Tim, thanks for the tip. I had heard of this behavior before, but never
witnessed it. Today I wrote a test form with 1 text field and 1 submit, and
it did do this: when I submitted via return, the submit field was not
posted. However, when I added a second text field to the form, the submit
did get posted. I was careful that the focus was still in the text field,
and not on the button, when I hit return.
Any ideas on why this inconsistency? Just curious. Since it is inconsistent,
your point is important and well-taken.
My code is below if anyone wants to play.
