Do you know that there are 'fullstop (.)' and 'comma (,)' and 'Shift' and 'Capslock' keys on the keyboard? These are used in sentences so the other people reading it can understand.

First thing is why would you want "Enter" to work as "Tab"?
As far as your problem is concerned, you will have to check every time any key is pressed and if it "Enter" and then if the focus is on "Submit" then behave as "Enter". This is going to affect performance as every time user presses any key the event will fire.

Though what you are doing is not suggestible, yet if you need the flow as you asked, did you try to attach a onkeydown event on your submit button that will override the onkeydown defined earlier? All you need is to override and cancel the bubbling of event. Submit button will work as its normal behavior.

Try:

HTML

<input type="submit" onkeydown="javascript:event.cancelBubble=true;"/>

As stated, you should not do this. Having a button that does one thing sometimes and another thing at other times is very confusing to users. A single button should perform one function only.
