I have a simple form with three buttons in a horizontal row. Actually
it ONLY has buttons, no text fields. How do I specify the SECOND button
to have focus when the form opens, such that if the user simply presses
'Return', the second button's logic is executed? It seems (unless I'm
missing something) that the first button is always defaulting to focus,
and gets executed if user presses 'Return' (if they don't click
anywhere).

Anyone know how to accomplish this? I'm fairly familiar with form HTML
(I'm using '<INPUT..' tag), so it's probably just an option or attribute
I'm not finding.

Thanks!

Have you considered the possibility of giving focus to the "enter" key
itself?

After all, a button is only an option. If you define what happens when
enter is pressed, then who cares what button has focus.
