Ten years later it's still giving me headaches, when I try to do a trivial
two-input login form without a browser submit button, and find that every
obvious way of hiding the submit button breaks implicit submit in one
browser or another. Do I really need to stick the submit button in an
overflow: hidden, 0x0 div? I know I found a less ugly workaround for this
the last time I hit this...
