I have a client that insists the use of the return key rather than the tab key to switch from field to field on an html form. I have searched and can find nothing in HTML that will do this. IS there anything in JS that can do that?

Ok used the example with a slight modification. And it works great in firefox, but in IE it doesn't

script:
<SCRIPT>
function handleEnter (field, event) {
var keyCode = event.keyCode ? event.keyCode :
event.which ? event.which : event.charCode;
if (keyCode == 13) {
var i;
for (i = 0; i < 45; i++)
if (field == field.form.elements)
break;
i = (i + 1) % field.form.elements.length;
field.form.elements.focus();
return false;
}
else
return true;
}
</SCRIPT>

Then on each element I am doing onkeypress"return handleEnter(this, event)"

In IE, when I hit return/enter, it does nothing it stops and the cursor goes away.. Any thoughts?

The script works fine for me in IE. Can only guess why it doesn't work with out the rest of the html. Could be because your input elements are not in form tags.

here is the full script
<?php
// $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password") or die("Error: Could not connect");
// mysql_select_db("db") or die("Error:Could not select database");

if ($submit == "Send")
{
$zaction = "send";
} else {
$zaction = "form";
}

?>
