I am trying to get a form to work correctly and I want to prove to the programmers that the reason this form doesn't work correctly is because of a coding issue. <br />
Problem: When you hit the enter key in from the input text field the form action is called correctly and we get an error from the code, but if you hit the "I Accept" button it works correctly.<br />
<br />
The funny thing is we found a work around that if you put another input text type field on the page with any value in it then by hitting the enter button it works. Here is the code:<br />
<!-- Action Processing --><br />
<form action="<!--${DE_CGI_DIR}-->/cgi-bin/cgi_chip" method="post"><br />

</FORM><!--content-->well last time I checked you could only have 1 submit button. if you hit the enter key I am not sure which submit iti s using. what is the error you get if you hit enter?<!--content-->Well, <br />
What is does when you hit the enter button it gives a "Service is Unavailable" error from the cgi, that is why I believe it is a coding issue.<br />
<br />
We also have other pages with two submit buttons on it and we don't get this error.<!--content-->well "Service is Unavailable" as in a 500 error?<!--content-->
