Enter doesn't act on form when cursor is on a drop down

confirmed: it doesn't work.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<body>

Test Enter Key While Select Box is Focused:<br />

<form action="" method="post" name="test">

<input type="text" name="testText" value="Hi"/>
<br /><br />
<select name="testSelect">
	<option value="1">One</option>
	<option value="2">Two</option>
	<option value="3">Three</option>
</select>
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form><br />

<?php
if(@$_POST['testSelect']) echo "<h2>Submited</h2>"; 
?>

</body>
</html>

I have to use JavaScript and capture the enter key and submit the form and set all the settings (ie reset page num to 1, etc)...too much hassle for me. If the user is tabbing through or clicking, they can get to the Submit button.
