Neither do I. My user want the <Enter> key to move to (what we both
consider to be) the next logical input field. As an example, in *my* case I
have a vertical column of phone numbers and email addresses, that she will
frequently be entering/modifying. She should move up/down thru these fields
so as not to drive herself 'bananas' moving her hand off/on the mouse to
click to change focus.

That set of code is meant to allow the user to move logically up and
down and sideways thru the input fields in a quick, efficient manner (using
<tab>,<shift-tab>, <up arrow>, <down arrow>, <home>, <end>, etc
To submit she *must* deliberately focus (using her mouse) on the
<Validate/Submit> button -- where I go into action examining/validating the
complete set of input fields. and using my Red/Yellow/Green backgrounds to
praise or chastise her :))
