Ooooooooo ... that's what you are getting at. I recently had a similar problem that i solved by providing another interface. In this case, it was a significant benefit to do so, as it allowed me to enter data quickly (type numbers - tab - type numbers - tab, etc.). If you don't care to code another interface you can still use a simple keyboard trick: when you have finished entering data in the last textbox (assuming there will be more than one), press Tab twice and then the Space Bar once (or Enter key once, but the Space Bar is closer). This should skip over the first button and activate the second.

Of course, you probably can do this with JavaScript ... but 'JavaScript' ne 'Perl' ;)

That's odd that your question title was actually parsed ... tye fixed that a while back (see More HTML escaping), but it is possible someone was pmdevilin' around with the source at the time you saw this "Unidentified Formatting Occurence".
