Navigating data entry controls on a web page, with Enter key

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 05.2010

Hi,

I have designed a data entry form in HTML.
In all I have upwards of 16 data entry elements (varying from edit boxes, ‘<input>’, drop down controls, check-boxes, etc)

I know by setting the tabIndex of every data entry element user can navigate easily with the Tab key.
But, even if it is non-standard, can the navigation be done with the ‘Enter’ key instead (it is the users, non functional requirement)

any clues will be appreciated.

PS: I had posted the above query in the HTML forum.
Maybe it is more javascript related, so posting it here as well.
Please pardon the spam.
