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.
Tested it on a few machines, same result.
Thanks,
Michael

Tab is the standard 'next field' button. Do not use enter for this
operation. To avoid submit on enter add code to the onclick event of the
the submit button. Return false if not all fields are filled in.

It's still going to fire up submit on every Enter and run the code.

That is directly contradicted by what Anthony wrote. Returning [false]
cancels the event.

Thanks guys for responds.
I already figured it out.
Just had to change the type from "submit" to "button". Had this problem
long
long time ago, just forgot how I solved it that time.
Seems it's what Anthony was metioned.
About standard Tab - I know that, just the forms were written for our
internal data entry people,
and it's a pretty difficult task to make them to don't press Enter every
time and use Tab instead.
So it was easier to capture Enter key and send them to the next entry
field.
Makes you wonder what they were using before that taught them to use the
enter button. If you perpetuate that it may be fine for this application but
still continue to be a source of confusion for them the when using other
applications. A better approach would be a bit of training, they'll get
used it.

That would not be my prefered way to do it.
I would book a conference room with a projector and show them a number of
applications which demonstrate that the tab is the industry wide field
navigation button. Apologise prefusely to them for having them use an
application in the past that did not conform to this standard and could they
please use the tab button from now on.
Be sure not to make them feel stupid, the fault lies with the management not
them.

An expensive way to teach them and have them not feel stupid, Anthony.
Feeling stupid has nothing to do wich whose fault it is, but is a mighty
strong incentive for a steep learning curve.
Perhaps the word "stupid" should only appear after the third <enter>?
My way they would not see those two alerts any more in an hour,
and also target the ones that are on holyday, congress, ill, sick,
buzy elsewhere or just too sleepy during your "conference room with a
projector" happening to notice.
However, in a setting where money is no object, and absolute politeness
is, your idea might eventually work.

If the OP follows my suggestion on the code tweaks nothing happens when
enter is hit.
If he also takes the time to explain respectfully how and why the new
interface is different no one ever needs to be called stupid, especially not
by a mere computer.

Since I have actually managed people and have had to do things similar to
that in the past I can tell you it isn't expensive or pointless and it does
work. People should treat people with respect, computers should treat
people like gods.

Most Windows apps: Excel, Access, etc., use the Enter key for field/cell
navigation. Even Word: you press Enter to get to a new line, not Tab.

nothing except that for your entire computing life ... ;-)

I want to use the POST method to submit the form and then grab the

When I use _blank target there is no problem, either I use GET or POST

But when I use _search target, only GET method works.
