trigger two text field in rails at the same time

I have these two form with text field (I have a problem with the formatting in this editor, so the symbol of < is not written.


%form_tag(:controller => 'mycontroller', :action => :myaction, :id => @my.id) do
input class="mine" name="mine" type="text" size="10"
input class="his" name="his" type="text" size="10"
%end%


and in the controller, i have

def myaction
mine = params[:mine]
his = params[:his]

if (mine=="") or (his=="")
puts "error"
else

if (mine)
puts "textfield1"
end

if (his)
puts "textfield2"
end
end

I am confused with this. I need to put in each text field a value, and get the result of "textfield1" and "textfield2".
But I recogn that if I press enter in the first textfield (mine), I will go to "textfield1" only.
Is it possible to have in textfield 1 and textfield2 and get both condition executed with just one enter pressed (does not matter I am in the textfield1 or textfield2, but both will be executed if I press enter)?

Thank you for your help

If you need to submit both text fields use a single form. Any other solution would be an unnecessary hack.

[edit] Some browsers don't submit a form when enter is pressed if there is no submit button. Check this question. As some answers say, you can try to hide it if you really want no button.
