Hi,
It has been interesting to read all the intense debate on the behaviour
of the input widget. I would like to just contribute an experience
rather than add my preferences to the arguments. I had put together an
application using XForms for not so computer literate people. A lot of
times people came back to me saying that they had entered a value in an
input field and hit OK/START/STOP... (application) buttons but the value
hadn't changed and the program was hence not working ! I had to
explicitly display a message somewhere that "Please Hit REURN after
keying in a value". I also followed another approach where I checked for
changed values withing the code incase sombody forgot to press the
RETURN key.
