Symptom: Pressing enter in a form with single input field does not submit the form if there is any other input field on the page even in a different form.

Workaround: try adding a <INPUT TYPE="image"> tag within the form. Although this may not make sense, it works on my forms

<FORM ACTION="test.php" METHOD="post" NAME="login">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="username" VALUE="">
<INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="password" VALUE="">

<A HREF="javascript:document.login.submit()">log in</A>
<INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="./images/blank.gif">
</FORM>
