As far as I know, creating a default button only changes it's
appearance. It does not allocate any behavior to that button (although
I think it is supposed to). Your client needs to have an enterKey
handler and a returnKey handler and have them check which button is
set to default (use the defaultButton property) and activate it
directly.

If the default button can be activated while typing in a field, you
will need enterInField and returnInField handlers as well.
