Sometimes you come up with something so simple and so useful you have to share.
So ... I'm working on a Wizard and I have four buttons across the bottom of the form: "< Previous", "Next >", "Finish >>" and "Cancel".
But I noticed that when I hit the return key inside on of the fields of the form, it kept acting like "< Previous" was clicked. That's not what I wanted at all.
The browser basically worked forward in the tab order from the text field I clicked until it found as submit button within the form ... which happened to be "< Previous".
My solution?
<input type="submit" style="display: none"/>
That empty submit gets "found" (desipite being invisible) before the "< Previous" button, and the form submits normally.

Wouter Cleuren also posted this to the user list last week. Why are all the bright minds solving this problem now, instead of months ago when people were asking for solutions? ;-)
I've been using gstamp's ButtonSubmit combined with an invisible ImageSubmit, but will change to the invisible Submit if it covers all cases.

Tells you how to do this, basically
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button1.UseSubmitBehavior = false;
Button2.UseSubmitBehavior = true;
Page.Form.DefaultFocus = Button2.ClientID;
}
