@PineSolPirateMar 09.2007 — This works in firefox at least.
[code=php]document.captureEvents(Event.KEYPRESS);
document.onkeypress = function (e) { if(e.which == 13) { return false; } }[/code]

@samanyoluMar 09.2007 — <i>
</i>&lt;form action="foo"&gt;
&lt;input type="text" onkeypress="return bar(event)"&gt;
&lt;input type="submit"&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
function bar(evt){
var k=evt.keyCode||evt.which;
return k!=13;
}
&lt;/script&gt;
