HTML question

I want to create a form in HTML to submit data.
For example i have two text boxs and two buttons

<input type="text" name="textfield">
<input type="text" name="textfield2">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="submit" name="Submit2" value="Submit">

when the browser load the page, how to set the cursor on the first text box?

after typing thing in the two text boxs, how to set the enter key to be the first button so that when press enter key, the result is as same as clicking the first button?

it should happen automatically - though I don't think you should use 2 submit buttons :Q 😕

No reason not to. They could be assigned different values to trigger different events through a script, but in order for that to work, they should be part of a button array, simply give them the same name.

Also, it should (at least in IE) just submit the form, not necessarily send the value of the first submit button. In order for this to work, you may want to add a onSubmit action to the form, and have it validate that they actually clicked one of the submit buttons, something like this:

<script language=JavaScript><!--
function VerifySubmit(){
     if(document.form1.submitbutton.value==""){
          alert("Please select an action.");
          return false;
     }else{
          return true;
     }
}
//-->
</script>

<form name=form1 onSubmit="return VerifySubmit();">
