submit form with enter key

[rs51]

hi
i've this form:
<form action=&quot;<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot; onkeypress=&quot;if(window.event.keyCode==13){this.submit()};&quot;>
<p>Base de dados:
<select name=&quot;db&quot;>
<?php
$dbs = mysql_list_dbs();
for ($i=0;$i<mysql_num_rows($dbs);$i++) {
$dbname = mysql_db_name($dbs,$i);
if ($dbname == $db)
echo(&quot;<option selected>$dbname</option>\n&quot; );
else
echo(&quot;<option>$dbname</option>\n&quot; );
}
?>
</select>
</p>
<p>SQL:<br />
<textarea cols=&quot;60&quot; rows=&quot;5&quot; name=&quot;query&quot;><?=htmlspecialchars($query)?></textarea>
</p>
<p><input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submitquery&quot; value=&quot;Ver&quot; /></p>
</form>
and want to submit by either clikin on button or by pressing the enter key;
the way it is only reloads the web page and resets the select option...
How can i achieve it?
Thanks

this would disable carriage returns in the <textarea>...why use a textarea?

yeah ike jemminger said if u press enter in a textarea it will go to the next line, but if it is a textfield it will submit the form...

the textarea is suposed to be where i write sql code to query databases...

jemminger:
you said &quot;why use a textarea?&quot;
Using textarea i dont have to rewrite the same sql every time i need to query my database (that's what's for this form)
i click enter but the text stays inside the textarea, which does not happen with a textbox
