I have a form that looks something like the following:

<input type="submit" name="finish" value="Finish">

The form has 3 pages. You fill in details on each page and click a
'continue' button to go to (reveal) the next page. It all works fine
except that when focus is in the text input "f0_0" and the user presses
the Enter key I want to update the information on the current page.
Currently its causing the form to be submitted.
How can I override this behaviour so that the Enter key does not submit
the form when the text input has focus but instead runs one of my functions?
Start with Valid HTML. Then try this quickhack:
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitCheck(f)
{
var me = arguments.calle e;
if (typeof me.event != "undefined" )
{
var e = me.event;
var t = e.target || e.srcElement;
if (t && typeof t.name != "undefined"
&& /(^|\s)foo(\s|$)/i.test(t.name))
{
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
</script>
<form action="..."
onkeydown="if (typeof event != 'undefined') submitCheck.eve nt = event"
onsubmit="retur n submitCheck(thi s)">
...
<input type="..." name="foo" ...>
...
<input type="submit" ... onclick="delete submitCheck.eve nt">
...
</form>
I think I have posted a similar solution before here.
