HowTo set the default submit button on a form Howard has a nice little trick for setting the default submit button on a form. Basically, you just put the default button first, and then use style="display: none" to hide it. For the most part, I haven't had any issues with putting the default submit button first (i.e. "Save"), but I have noticed an issue when developing wizards (b/c "« Previous" is likely to be first). Nice tip Howard. Posted in The Web at Jun 20 2005, 08:58:53 AM MDT 3 Comments

Seems like a good try, but fails mildly on accessibility - the button would appear to a non-css-savy accessible browser twice.

This didn't work for me in internet explorer 6.

I used a div with style="display: none" and that worked.

Wont' work on IE7. Solution is to use same color for text and background of the button as the background of the body.
