ha mo, Dave Clark, Ky Dang, SK RK,

Try to trap the enterKey (code=13) an call the submit for the form.   
(I have not tested this so let me know if it does not work for you.)
function enterKeyTrap()
{
  if (window.event.keyCode == 13)
  {
    document.myForm.submit();
  }
}
<form name="myForm" onkeyup="enterKeyTrap();">
  <input type="submit" value="Go" name="B1">
</form>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SK,
Note that the above code will not work in all browsers.  The following 
is a more cross-browser version:
function enterKeyTrap(e)
{
  if (e)
  {
    if (e.which == 13) document.myForm.submit();
  }
  else
  {
    if (window.event.keyCode == 13) document.myForm.submit();
  }
  return true;
}
<form name="myForm" onkeyup="return enterKeyTrap()">
  <input type="submit" value="Go" name="B1">
</form>
Note, also, that some browsers may not like the onkeyup event for the 
FORM tag.  All browsers, though, will accept the onkeyup event coded, 
for example, on each textbox.
Take care,
Dave Clark
