Form Submission

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hullo, I’m wondering how I stop a form from being submitted when I hit enter. I want the form to do nothing when enter is typed, to leave all text fields and buttons they way they were. Thanks.

@mjdamatoDec 29.2006 — I'm assuming you want the user to still be able to submit the form through a button click? Here's one way:

<i>
</i>&lt;form name="formname" id="theform" onsubmit="return false;"&gt;
...form contents....
&lt;button onclick="document.getElementById('theform').submit();"&gt;Submit&lt;/button&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

@ProGrapeauthorDec 29.2006 — Actually, for the moment, the form never gets submitted since the user is given output info as they type. But I think you've given me the right idea, that is, to return false, so I'll go and give it a shot. Thanks ?

Is it possible to define explicity the method onSubmit()?

For instance, could you do something like
[CODE]function onSubmit () {
return false;
}[/CODE]
?

Success!
