Carriage Return help!!!

[jlucyk]

When someone hits the enter key in the comments space on a form with the cgi script in the background it messes up the log file and when I try to import into access it imports into multiple records instead of one. I saw a java progammer use a routine that disabled the right mouse click so you can't get to the code in back of the page. I was wondering if there was any way to disable the enter key so no one can enter on the form. Like have message pop please do not use the enter key.

Please help

you can use regular expressions in your cgi to replace all carriage returns with regular spaces like this:

$text =~ s/\n/ /g;

Check out the documentation for the WRAP parameter to the TEXTAREA tag. There is an option for it (I think it's WRAP=SOFT) that prevents the carriage returns in the text area from being sent to the program. Tracy Dryden
