In an html form with a javascript validation function, like the example below,
hitting the return key while in the text field should do the same thing as
clicking the send button but in chimera, function() only get called if the
button is clicked. It work correctly in IE and mozilla.

<form action="action.php" method="post" onSubmit="function()">
    <input type="text" name="a">
    <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Send">
</form>

1. Click "Send" -> function() is called
or
2. Hit the return key while in text field -> function() is not called

Actual Results:  
1. work, 2. doesn't

Expected Results:

Does this happen in Mozilla 1.0 branch builds?

This works for me in Chimera. You have popup blocking turned on, which is why it
doesn't work for you.

That was stupid of me not having thaught of that... but still, I think it
remains a bug but now it has to do with the requested/unrequested algorithm.

This should definetly be in the requested category
