Prevent Enter Button from Submitting

[wildekyote]

I have a form where I need to prevent enter from submitting. I produce an error when a user presses enter once completing a text field rather than clicking the submit button. There are circumstances as to why this has to work this way. I've searched old posts and have found them to suggest validation. I've validation in there at this point, but do to the process progression needed the Enter button just works about as well as a monkey wrench in gears.

I've tried onsubmit='return false' with no luck I've tried setting the onClick function I'm using on the button in an onSubmit event and that didn't work. I know it's possible to block it I just can't figure it out. Can anyone out there throw me a bone?
