Just as an update, IE9 and above don’t have the ‘display:none’ issue anymore since the release.

Jim, thank you for this fix. I’m building a site, and the form wouldn’t submit via enter key when using IE8.

This behavior still appears to be broken in IE9 Beta… however, my fix (in the post above) for the problem does still work for IE9 Beta. Follow the code in the post. Or click on the link to the demo of the fix and then view source.

Agreed, doesn’t work for me either in IE9 BETA… any ideas please?

@Jarrett... I'm not so sure that it is fixed in IE9 beta. Try the first test case at the bottom of the post: Single text input no visible submit button That still doesn't seem to work for me in IE9 beta?

This hack is no longer needed with IE9 so you may want to use

You could also set overflow: hidden on the form and then use position: relative and left: -9999px on the submit button…

Interesting 3sk3l4, I’ll have to give that a try as well. Thanks for the tip
