validate and then Submit ASP page on pressing ENTER button

[Soniad]

Hello,


I am having ASP page, in this there in one textbox to enter emailid ,I have done javascript validation for this i.e. if email id is not valid then alert message is shown and page will not be submitted.
all this is working properly on "OnClick" event .
but when the function is called "onkeypress " then alert message is shown if email id is invalid,but the page gets submitted after clicking on OK of alert message or entering on alert message

Here's javascript code :

var AccOk 
AccOk = "yes"
 
function fncheck()
{  
        if (document.frmAccCheck.txtloginid.value=="")
        {
        AccOk = "no";
        alert("Please Enter EmailId");
        document.frmAccCheck.txtloginid.focus()
        }
        else if(document.frmAccCheck.txtloginid.value!="")
        {
         if (document.frmAccCheck.txtloginid.value.indexOf(".") == -1 || document.frmAccCheck.txtloginid.value.indexOf("@") == -1)
         {
          AccOk = "no";
          alert("Please Enter Valid EmailId");
          document.frmAccCheck.txtloginid.focus()
         }
        }
 
        if (AccOk == "yes")
        {
        alert("submit")
        document.frmAccCheck.hidsubmit.value = "Check";
        document.frmAccCheck.method = "post";
        document.frmAccCheck.action = "AccountInterface.asp";
        document.frmAccCheck.submit();
        }
 
}
 
 
function fnlogin()
{
 
    if ( window.event.keyCode == 13)
    {  alert("testlogin")        
        fncheck()
    }
}

Here's ASP control with onkeypress event :

 <input type="text" name="txtloginid" onKeyPress="javascript:fnlogin();">

page should not get submitted .

You could do this with ASP by posting to the same page and redisplaying the same form (with the inputs filled in where applicable), but it sounds like you are taking a javascript approach, I'll move it over to the javascript forum for you.

to suppress form submission from the HTML side (which is in most cases also triggerd, when you press enter) you need to do

<form action="..." onsubmit="return false;" ... >

you can also let Javascript decide, whether to submit (of cause checkUserInput( ) must return true or false)

<form action="..." onsubmit="return checkUserInput();" ... >
