JavaScript Firefox Cancel Form Submission by Enter Key

[adbo_atoz]

Hello All

I am trying to duplicate this code which works in IE to work in Firefox

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
function submitOnEnterKey()
{    if(event.keyCode == 13) {
      event.returnValue = false;
    } else {
      event.cancelBubble = true    
    }    
 
    if(event.keyCode == 13) 
    {    
      SearchUser();
    } 
</SCRIPT>
 

Any Suggestions or hopefully solutions

I've been to http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/ and other places but can't quite find the definitive solution.

Again I am trying to cancel the default action of submitting a form with the enter key.

Thanks in advance
Adam

Only IE uses the global window.event, other browsers use the passed event.

cancelBubble only works in IE. Use the stopPropagation () method for other browsers, but not needed here. Also, check for 'which' in addition to keyCode:

function cancelSubmitOnEnterKey(e)
{
    if (!e) e = window.event;
    if (e.keyCode) code = e.keyCode;
    else if (e.which) code = e.which;
    if (code == 13) {
      SearchUser();
      return false;
    } else {
      return true;
    }
}

You may also want to check that the element is not a textarea.

this may helps you

function keyPressHandler()
        {
            var kC  = (window.event) ?    // MSIE or Firefox?
                     event.keyCode : e.keyCode;
            var Ent = (window.event) ?   
                    13 : e.DOM_VK_ESCAPE // MSIE : Firefox
 
            if(kC==Esc){return false;}
        }
