Why is it that a <form> with a single <input> field will reload the form when the user enters a value and presses the Enter, and it does not if there are 2 or more fields in the <form>?.
I wrote a simple page to test this oddity.
If you enter a value in the second form and press Enter, you'll see it reloads the page passing the entered value as if you called GET. why? and how do I avoid it?

<body>
<form>
<input type=text name=partid2 id=partid2 />
<input type=text name=partdesc id=partdesc />
</form>
<p>2 field form works fine</p>
<form>
<input type=text name=partid id=partid />
</form>
<p>One field form reloads page when you press the Enter key why</p>
</body>
