No this is no default, this is a terrible mistake that MS introduced in 
Internet Explorer and which - what was even more terrible - Mozilla has 
adopted.
(The really bad thing about this is that i you cannot disable it!)

I haven't tested ist with other browsers, but I hope there a some good 
browsers left that don't show this stupid behaviour.

If you have multiple submit buttons (next, cancel, back) there is no 
sensible default button which enter should trigger, so this behaviour is 
just a plain bug IMHO.

Sorry for my tone, but I have to bother with this bug right now.
