Disable "Enter" key in a form

Anthony

4/5/2004 8:02:00 AM

Hello again everybody,

Since i know the experts on frontpage reside here, i feld free to post
another question.
Here it is, How do i disable the "Enter" on a page were people fill in a
form.
Lots of people try to 'jump' to the next field in my form by using the
'enter' key.
Problem is that this key is behaving the same as the 'Submit' button
I can not use validation on all textfields cause some of them can be left
empty
by visitors.
Any help will be very much appreciated (again)

function captureKey(e) {
var k = document.all? window.event.keyCode:e.which;
return k != 13;
}
document.onkeypress = captureKey;
if (document.layers) document.captureEvents(Event.KEYPRESS);

Put it anywhere between the <body> and </body> tags on the page.

Hi Kevin,

your code also deletes ENTER in "textareas". Is there a workaround for this?

I'd wrap your function with something like: if I am in
document.myform.field "my textarea" then do nothing, otherwise ignore ENTER.
However, I do not know how I can find out what the "active" field of the
form is.

******if active field is not "my textarea then
> var k = document.all? window.event.keyCode:e.which;
> return k != 13;
> }
> document.onkeypress = captureKey;
> if (document.layers) document.captureEvents(Event.KEYPRESS);
*******else do nothing (= allow ENTER)

best regars

Hi Anthony,

I found a simple way to make "enter" jump to the next field instead of
sending the form:
http://javascript.internet.com/forms/enter-key-...

it says basically to use
onKeyDown="if(event.keyCode==13) event.keyCode=9;"
where you want to disable enter=send.

eg. for your address field:

<FORM METHOD="POST">
Address: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" onKeyDown="if(event.keyCode==13)
event.keyCode=9;"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" Value="Ok">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" Value="Cancel">
</FORM>


regards

arno
