Would anybody have a peace of code that makes ENTER key behaves like a TAB key?

Thanks a lot.

To sum up the thread Fred referenced above:
Do not mess with user interface.
99.9% of things that may seem as an "improvement" to you, will be nothing but annoyance to your visitors.
How would you like the driver and passenger seats on your car being swaped, just because someone thinks that it's better that way:rolleyes:

I agree with all that. I would never use ENTER to navigate my forms. The problem is that I was hired to help someone to migrate his old Fox Pro aplication to the web environment. I tried to convince him not to do so, but he says the application is internal and the user are used to this behaviour.

Anyway, I will show him all this coments posted here. Maybe he changes his mind.
