Menu
This is a repost after trying two things which still don’t seem to work to submit a form using either Enter or Return keys:
1) Added a value = submit to the form to set the button as default
2) Added the function checkForEnterKey() to look for the Return/Enter key to fire off the doSearch() function
Code is below which works fine when user clicks mouse on button but does not work with Return or Enter keys. Thanks again for any insights o the problem:
