Add option to press Enter key (for Dummies)

2 New Member

I have a form where user enters a password text, then has to click the Submit Password button. How do I add the option to press Enter key to call the same function 'goForit'?

I read similar posts/replies, but I don't know enough to make it work for me. I got this form and script from a free sript site. Trying to learn...thahks in advance for any help.

here is the code:
[html]
<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">

</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body onLoad="top.win dow.focus()" BACKGROUND="ima ges/gatekeeper_mana gers1.jpg">

<TABLE BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 WIDTH=100%>
<TR>
<TD ROWSPAN=2 WIDTH=200px><im g src="../images/clear_1px.gif" width="200px" height="1">
<TD WIDTH=50% ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=MIDDLE class="maintext " style="color: #ffffff;">
<p> </p>
<p>Please enter your Password. If you do not have one, contact your Manager for
Assistance.
<BR>
</p>
<TR>
<TD WIDTH=50% ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=BOTTOM>
<p>&nbsp</p>
<CENTER>
<FORM NAME="testform" >
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="inputbox" VALUE="" size=20>
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button" Value="Submit Password" onClick="goFori t(this.form)">
</FORM>
</CENTER>
</TABLE>
</body>
</html>

Instead of using button to submit the form, write a submit input type and trigger the submit function in the form tag. That would do the work what you are looking for.
