form is submitting even if blank

[Diane]

I have a form on a website written in the <Form> tag, using Method="Post", and then all the fields of the form are coded. This form will submit itself at any time a person touches the "enter" key, whether or not anything was entered in the fields.
The "Submit" and "Reset" buttons at the bottom of the form work fine.
How do I force the form to be submitted only with the Submit button?

Many thanks.

I think you can interrupt this with the onClick. You should set this to call a function that checks if data has been entered. If it has, submit the form, otherwise, do nothing (return false).

ColdFusion has more advanced validation than JavaScript, you can look into that as well.

No real need for JavaScript. You can handle the submitted data in the same form as the one you submitted it. That way you can validate any submitted value.
If any field is not correct, you drop straight thru to the user-entry form and echo the errors, so the user can see what he did wrong.
