Hi,

What is the value of your ACTION in the form tag?

ronverdonk

Make a JavaScript routine that captures (onkeypress) the ENTER keystroke and ignores it.

Ronald :cool:

You are probably submitting your form if you have <input type="submit" value="submit" /> change it to <input type="button" ....

I don't see anything in your code that would make it behave that way????

From http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec_8.html#SEC8.2 under "Form Submission":

"When there is only one single-line text input field in a form, the user agent should accept Enter in that field as a request to submit the form."

I found out about this when I found the page http://niwo.mnsys.org/saved/~flavell/www/formquestion.html

Welcome to the site and thanks for the information.

To avoid this, capture the enter key press using JavaScript and disable the action with return false as ronverdonk mentioned many months ago.
