I have a form in a jQuery enabled site. The form does not feature an <input type="submit"> button. For that reason, it's not submitted when you hit enter. What's the recommended way to emulate such behaviour?

<html lang="en">
<head><title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
$(function(){
    $("form input:first").focus();
});
//--></script>
</head>
<body>

<form action="" method="post">
<input type="text" name="user">
<input type="password" name="pass">
</form>

</body>
</html>
