The above code was a lot help. But in my web page I have to also access the links using keyboard. In that case I have to use the alt + access key and then press enter to access a particular link. So if I use the above code then I am not able to access the links using keyboard.

This Code is Working Fine with all controls , means the Focus is moving to Next Control. BUT this is not working When the Focus is in "HtmlInput File"Control which we will use for File UpLoadings. means Focus is not moving to Next Control. Then How to modify code.

this work great and stops all enter key presses. now how do i disable the event and fire a tab key event.
so if a user presses the enter key i need it to be ignore and tab to the next field.

actually the code provide by rrosebro is not working for me =.=

and i try alot with that kind of coding where u try to set the 13 into 9

and i think the web browser ( im using mozilla firefox 2.0.0.14 ) not allowing us to change that

so heres my code to solve the enter as tab ( using an id as element )

at the script part

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

        function testing(event,number)

    {

        if( event.keyCode == 13 )

        {

            var wow = document.getElementById(number);

            wow.focus();

        }        

    }

so the input will look like this

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <form>

          <input id="1" type="text" tabindex="1" onkeyup="testing(event,2)" />

          <input id="2" type="text" tabindex="3" onkeyup="testing(event,3)" />

          <input id="3" type="text" tabindex="2" onkeyup="testing(event,1)" />

</form>

Welcome to Bytes and thanks for sharing.

Remember that IDs should not start with or be only numbers, so use a string not starting with a number.

its too simple dear,
in body tag just add this
<body onkeydown="if (event.keyCode==13) {event.keyCode=9; return event.keyCode }">

DONE!.. :) Now your ENTER key will be treated as TAB key to focus other controls..

Are you sure about that? Have you tested on browsers besides IE? What about textareas?
