Client-side code. Please follow up in a client-side newsgroup. You will need
to use the onkeypress event to execute your form's submit method.

Hi, I have a struts form <html:form> in which although the focus rests on the submit button, hitting the enter key does not submit the form. I tried capturing the Enter key event and followed it by the document.form.submit() but this takes me through the validation attached with the submit twice( giving me all the alerts twice). Here's the code

I have a form that with a datagrid with textboxes and a submit button. When the user is in a textbox and they hit enter to try to go to a different line, instead they submit the form before they are done entering their data. I know this is how it is supposed to work, but is there anyway to disable the enter key from hitting the submit button? Thanks in advance for any advice! -- Chuck Foster

Hi, For a web page, I want a SUBMIT button that commits the form data and a CANCEL button that goes to a different target (i.e. a different script). I haven't figured out how to do this, because the <FORM ACTION="... tag seems to make sure that any two submit controls in a form have to go to the same target. BTW, the CANCEL button does not have to submit any form data.

Hi, I have an image in my HTML form which has onclick() handler. There is also a submit button and a text box. Whenever text box has focus and user presses enter, the onclick() event of image is fired with event.keyCode as undefined. I was expecting that the form would get submitted. I tried returning from onclick() handler if keyCode is null, but the

I'm getting incorrect response when hitting the enter key instead of actually clicking the button on a form. It activates but the post data isn't being sent I think. The php generated page flickers & reloads but doesn't perform the update.

Who knows how to prevent submitting a form on the press Enter button before all fields on the form are filled up. People just enter the first field hit Enter and it submits the form and doing validation, of course flushing with the bunch of messages because rest of the fields are empty. I remember I had some pages where wrote the code to go on the next field when pressed the Enter button (Tab like), because it didn't go anywhere at all....

I feel like a fool for asking this; seems like I would have had more luck with Google, but alas... This is a little baby bit of code that a friend cooked up over a year ago. My problem is simply that hitting enter doesn't really submit the input. It just reloads with a cleared form. My desired effect is for hitting the Enter key to have the same effect as clicking the Submit button. Here's the code:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
