I have a form for which I'd like all submissions to happen through the
submit buttons provided. But if the user enters a <return> while in any
text box, the form gets submitted, and it gets submitted as if the
first submit button defined for the form had been pressed. Can I
insure that pressing <return> will not submit the form?

Not really.

You have to validate your form data on the server anyway. If it's
incomplete, show the form again. Additionally you can't rely on a
particular submit button being triggered with [enter]. It's completely
up to the browser what to do with forms that have multiple submit
buttons.

What happens if there is no submit button? just a javascript driven
clickable object to do the submit bit..?

Awesome -- now I need to have Javascript enabled just to submit a
form. That's almost as bad as links that require it.
