IE 5+ default form submit on Enter Key Press

[WJ]

I have a form that has one textbox control and one textarea.

Through experimentation, it occurred to me that, when there is
only one textbox, pressing the ENTER key submits the
form. If I have two or more, it won't do this.

Is there a way in HTML (or other mean, such as script)
to disable this?

I have scripts that run on the keypress
events of certain buttons. Having to roll the functionality
into an onSubmit() event of the form is really going to be
a pain.

Validate server side. If there is data missing, then return them to the
calling page.
