javascript not responding

[Rick]

Hi,

I got a little problem with executing a javascript. I have a simple html
page with a textfield and a button. When I hit the button a javascript will
check the value of the textfield. If it's a right value, a new page will be
opened otherwise I get an error message.

That works but now I want to execute the script also if I hit enter after
typing in the textbox. The webpage will be loaded but the script won't be
executed. Even stranger, if I add a second textbox to the page it suddenly
works?! That's fine but I want to get rid off that second box, it has to
work with one.

Greetings,
Rick

Use the forms onSubmit property to run the function that does the
validation.
