I'm not entirely sure what you mean here. My first thought is that you can 
disable the buttons using the DISABLED attribute via Javascript, depending 
over which form/part of the screen the cursor is hovering, so that you can 
only ever press that one button.

I also wondered about using TABINDEX and again setting it dynamically to 1, 
depending on where you are on the screen with the cursor, although this 
wouldn't solve the problem.

I must admit, I'm not sure what you mean by default, if you press on one 
button then the form associated with that button is submitted? As for 
having a default button, until you press the TAB key, there is no default 
button.
