Entering text into a TextBox in the google web toolkit in Firefox calls the submit form, but not IE

gwt 1.6.4 ie 8 ff 3.6.13

My users want to be able to press Enter to submit the form in the gwt text box. So I wrote the code, got it working, and then found that it was sent twice (in firefox). So I took it and noticed that getting into firefox caused the page to be sent, but in IE it is not.

So either I have half the work (one of two popular browsers), or it works in ie and double is sent to firefox.

Suggestions? I saw a lot of comments about this, but nothing specific to gwt.
