Description

Since WICKET-5594 AjaxButton forces rendering type="button". I understand, that this is the desired behavior if JavaScript is disabled. On the other hand it disables the browser behavior "submit form on enter" when JavaScript is enabled. I can't see any problem on using type="submit" in conjunction with AjaxButton, since the designated Methods onSubmit(AjaxRequestTarget target, Form<?> form), onAfterSubmit(AjaxRequestTarget target, Form<?> form) and onError(AjaxRequestTarget target, Form<?> form) will be called when pressing enter.

The new behavior affects a lot of forms in our wicket applications we are currently porting from Wicket 6 to 7.
