Stop submit on enter in IE

[mrichards]

Is there a simple way of stopping Internet Explorer form submitting a form when someone who is filling in a form hits the enter key? I've seen some fairly elaborate java scripts but I just need something simple.

thanks

This is about as simple as I can think of.

<form name=... action=... onSubmit=&quot;return false&quot;>

Form Elements Here

<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; onClick=&quot;this.form.submit();&quot;>
</form>

Important, the Submit button that I created is of the button type and not the submit type. Otherwise the form will never submit.

If you're already using some JavaScript validation on this form and need some help threading this into that, let me know.

you could also use an onkeydown event to ignore a Return Key

<input type=text onkeydown=&quot;if (event.keyCode==13) return false;&quot;>

however this would have to be placed in each form element that you wanted the return key to NOT submit the form.
