Hello,

This is possible with a litlle javascript.
An example:

<form id=&quot;fsub&quot; action=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.freejavascripts.f2s.com/&quot;>[/URL]
<input type=&quot;text&quot; onkeydown=&quot;if(k7=window.event.keyCode == 13) fsub.submit()&quot;>
</form>

Hi,
your code works fine, but when i use this funda in my page, i get the error, window.event is invalid ( in netscape).
I am copying the code also.one thing more. Is there any specific reason to use k7? and how it is working in netscape?
thanx
Nirmal

I'am sorry
the script is wrong.
this is the correct script:

<form id=&quot;fsub&quot; action=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.freejavascripts.f2s.com/&quot;>[/URL]
<input type=&quot;text&quot; onkeydown=&quot;if(window.event.keyCode == 13) fsub.submit()&quot;>
</form>

this one will work in both. put this in your header (replace FormNAme with the name of your form)...

function checkKey(e) {
if(document.all) {
if(event.keyCode == 13) {
document.FormName.submit()
}
} else if(document.layers) {
if(e.which == 13) {
document.FormName.submit()
}
}
}


and put onkeyDown="checkKey()" in your form tag.
