enter key submit

[ace21]

Can someone explain to me why the enter key will work on this one with an extra text box and not the second one.

----enter key from text box will work
<form name=form1 action=whocares method=post>
<Table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=3>
<TR>
<TD align=center><B>Search by Keyword(s):
<input type='text' name='keyword' size='50' maxlength=50>
<input type=text name=nothing>
<input type=submit value='Search' name=submit>
</TD></TR></table>
</form>

----enter key from text box will not work
<form name=form1 action=whocares method=post>
<Table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=3>
<TR>
<TD align=center><B>Search by Keyword(s):
<input type='text' name='keyword' size='50' maxlength=50>
<input type=submit value='Search' name=submit>
</TD></TR></table>
</form>

Try stopping it in javaScript using a function
function trapKey(eve)
{
var strEventType = eve.type;
if(strEventType.toUpperCase() == &quot;CLICK&quot
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

Pass the default event object from where ever you are calling and this will stop the Enter key from submitting.
