Submit form with image button returns nothing if using <space> or <enter>

My form isn't returning any results when submitting the form if the user hits the <spacebar> or the <enter> key on the keyboard when tabbed over the image submit button.

Code:

<input name="Submit_notes" type="image" value="Submit_notes" src="images/pp_but_blu_addentry.gif" />

Should I make it so the user can't submit with the keyboard? (if so how) or is there another way?

I would have to see the rest of the HTML to figure out why the rest of the info would not send, but preventing users from submitting with the keyboard is easy:

Code:

<input name="Submit_notes" type="image" onkeypress="return false" value="Submit_notes" src="images/pp_but_blu_addentry.gif" />

here's the code but the onKeyPress didn't work.

Code:

<form action="player_detail.php?tab=notes<?=$extra_vars;?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form_notes5" class="no_margins">
<div><textarea name="content" class="t_11" style="width:253px; height:100px;"></textarea></div>
<div><img src="images/spacer.gif" height="9"><input name="personal" type="hidden" value="1" /></div>
<div align="right"><input name="Submit_notes" type="image" value="Submit_notes" src="images/pp_but_blu_addentry.gif" onkeypress="return false" /></div>
</form>
