Shane:

Not quite, it evokes the first button. Depending upon the form my client is on 
at that particular time the enter key is pressed it could be a calculate 
button. On most of the forms there is a calculate, previous, next or submit. In 
the cases where I've tested it's always the first button.

The enter key in IE and most other browsers activates the submit button of the 
form you're in.
