Form submission

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 15.2003

This was posted in HTML. It was suggested that this might be the more appropriate forum. Apologies for x-post.

On a form, if someone hits the “Enter” key after filling in a text field then the form gets submitted. Is there any way to prevent the “Enter” key from submitting (except where the submit button has the focus)?

I have tried various combinations of onClick and onKeypress, manipulating this.value, and also the value of a hidden field.

All to no avail.

Anybody able to help?

@khalidali63Apr 15.2003 — you want to capture key events,the enter key value is 13.

and if keyCode is 13 return false

should do it.
