checkbox unchecks when enter key is used instead of continuing to the next page

I have several websites that use a checkbox to select the contents of the next page. In most browsers you can mouse click the checkbox and hit the enter key to go to the next page. When I hit the enter key it unchecks the checkbox and toggles the check on successive use of the enter key. Is there a way to change how the browser reacts to the enter key in this situation from an end user point of view? I am not the programmer of these pages. I need a way to change a browser setting.

In Preferences, Shortcuts, Keyboard setup, Edit, type "enter" in the Quick find field to see what its assigned to. I found this in the Advanced, Browser Widget context, which may be what you're looking for. The enter key's behaviour is defined there as:

Activate element | Open link

Try changing that to: Open link and see if it fixes the behaviour on that forum, but messes up the behaviour on others.

That did turn off the checking and unchecking feature caused by the enter key, but it still does not advance to the next page.
