single text field, submission with ENTER or TAB

Rupe

Because this is a form with a single text field, I require submition
when ENTER OR TAB is pressed in the text box). However since their is
only one field I can't use tab. Nor for some reason can I use enter.

Logically, my dear Watson, submission is effectively switched off by the
above onsubmit!

Enter text to be copied to calling page
<input type="text" onchange="chang eEvent()" value="type something">

onchange will only fire on blur, I think.

</form>
</body>
</html>

Try:

<form>
<input
onkeydown = 'if (event.keyCode= =9) this.form.submi t();'
type="text" name='what' value="give enter or tab">
</form>

i'm not actually wanting to do a submit as such, i'm only wanting to
update the main page data via opening a second page, placing details in
that second page then returning to the main page.

further, I was trying not to use window.open() rather just change the
location.href value. unfortunately just doing this on returning to the
main page, the second page's details remains in the browser. id running
window.document .title after returning to the main page returns the
title of the second page.

perhaps there a page naviagation tutorial online you recommend. as the
only way seems to be to open a second tab/window and then close it
after. I was just hoping to flick documents within the same tab.
