Disable Enter button

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 01.2012

I added some Javascript to a page on my website…
[url]http://tomorrowschampion.com/advocare-login/[/url]

It is working fine, the problem is whenever someone types in their ID number and they press “Enter” it goes nowhere. They have to physically hit the “Submit” button. How can I disable the enter key in that specific page or link it to press the submit button?

@SparoHawkNov 01.2012 — Your button is a "button". To make it submit when its clicked you need to change the type to submit.

[CODE]<input type="submit"/>[/CODE]

@George88Nov 02.2012 — Yes, make it a submit button. Just out of interest, if you did want to disable the enter key, you could do this:

<i>
</i>&lt;input id="password" type="text" name="password" size="20" onkeypress="return handleEnter(this, event)"&gt;

function handleEnter(field, event)
{
if(event.keyCode == 13) // Enter has been pressed
{
event.stopPropagation();
event.preventDefault();
return false;
}
}


However, I do not recommend doing this since the problem can be solved in 6 letters (submit).

Success!
