care for a hack?

foo<input type=image src="spacer.gif" width="1" height="1">

using the tab key, you reach this image before the text box, which, if
someone is tabbing from other fields above these, will require an extra tab
to get to the text box

but it does work to prevent the first of the two subsequent submit buttons
from being highlighted

i think

i guess you would add value="submitneither" (to catch that situation)
because this is probably the field that internet explorer will submit if the
users presses enter
