form unasked submitting

[Gu]

hi to all!
how can i prevent the "return / enter" key to submit the current form
if hit in a text input? i've actually added the code:
onKeyPress="if(event.KeyCode==13){doGivenFunction( );}"
to make it react the way i'd like (calling a function and not
submitting the form), but it doesn not work.
any suggestion?

thanks in advance for any eventual help

<input onKeyPress="return !(event.KeyCode==13)">press</div>
You will need to cancell the keypress

thanks in advance for any eventual help

Sorry, pressed the "send" button too soon

KeyCode should be keyCode
Try this:

<input onKeyPress="return(event.keyCode!=13)">

thanks in advance for any eventual help

eventual like in event.keyCode? ;-}

hmm.. well, you code works, thanks for that, in preventing the form to
submit, but how can i use it for triggering a function when enter is
pressed? the current code is:

onKeyPress="if(event.keyCode==13){invia();}"

This has been told zillions of times in this NG,
and is available in the archive.

onKeyPress="if(event.keyCode==13){invia();return false}"

If you want both the execution of invia()
and the prevention of submission.

Try:

onKeyPress=
"if(event.keyCode==13){alert('You pressed enter');return false}"

Or

onKeyPress=
"if(event.keyCode==13){return confirm('Do you really want submission?')}"
