I ran into an issue the other day where I needed to disable form submission when the enter key was pressed. To fix this you need to add a hander for onKeyPress for the <body>. This will disable any effect by the Enter key for the entire page.
onKeyPress for the <body>. This will disable any effect by the Enter key for the entire page.
<script language="JavaScript">
function disableEnterKey(e)
{
var key;
if(window.event)
key = window.event.keyCode;
else
key = e.which;
return (key != 13);
}
</script>
<body onKeyPress="return disableEnterKey(event)">
If you want to disable form submission for a particular input field, add the onKeyPress handler of the input field:
<input type="text" name="foo" onKeyPress="return disableEnterKey(event)" >
