Hello All
I have a submit button in my form. It gets focus (is activated by
ENTER) everytime any text inputs are edited. So, if the user
press ENTER before finishing all form, the form is submited.
I would like to prevent this button to get focus, and make it
possible to be activated only by mouse, or by specific tabindex.
I have tried to use:
<BODY bgcolor="#DBF3A 7" onLoad="setfocu s()">, where setfocus()
sets a focus on other text element, but it works until the user
clicks on any text input. Than submit button gets focus again.
then I tried tabindex="32767 ", but with no success.
So, how to get rid of the focus on submit button?
Thanks in advance.

It doesn't really get focus (though this is partly just a matter of
terminology); it just gets activated when Enter is hit in a text input
field.
This is an old problem. Not surprisingly, it's discussed in the FAQ
(though technically under the dual problem "How do I make a form so it
can be submitted by hitting ENTER?"). Briefly, you cannot prevent Enter
from submitting; you can deal with it when it happens (by coding form
data processing suitably). But check the resource recommended in the FAQ: http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/%7Eflavel...mquestion.html

And should you wish to follow the suggestion there to provide a
Javascript warning to the user (without causing extra problems for users
without Javascript) you might like to have a look at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/webmatters/formval.html

I have a text field and I want that after I enter a text in this text
field, the focus goes to the button.gif. How can I do it? Any ideas?
I know that when you use an input type="submit", the focus goes
automatically to the button, but I don't want to use a button.
See please the piece of code:

<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

I'd like to prevent a submit button from getting focus unless a particular
textbox or radio button is selected.
For example, if a user clicks anywhere within a form, the submit button is
focused and will submit whatever data is present if the user accidentally
presses Enter/Return. I would like to prevent this from happening unless
the user's cursor is within a textbox or the selection is on a radio button.
Is this possible? I believe...

Is there a reason why setting focus to a textbox input, also gives

I'm just learning how to use focus() and select().
I have a very large form (360+ elements).
Javascript validation is launched by the 'onclick' event handler in
the "submit" button tag.
Problem:
When the element to be validated is not on the screen - since the
form is larger than the screen, then there are no visual cues to help

Hi group,
I've been losing most of my remaining hair today, trying to
track down a problem with IE6.0 (builds: .2600 and XP SP 2).
I set the border-width of form input fields to 1px via
inline CSS.
But whenever I call the focus() method of any of the form
fields, the border width of the (first) submit button changes
to 2px. It doesn't matter whether the focus() method is called
