Disabling enter key in form fields

[jfiorini]

Does anyone know how I can keep the enter key from submitting a form in IE? I'm writing a page that switches from text to an input box, and then back to text when the user presses enter. I'm trying something with the onkeypress event, but I can't figure out exactly what to do.

Thanks,
Joe Fiorini

Yay! I figured it out. Here's the code I used:

[VBS]
var FormKey;

function FormKeyHandler(){
FormKey = window.event.keyCode;
return true;
}

function FormSubmit(){
return FormKey != ekeyEnter;
}


<form id="frmEditFolder" action="CreateFolder.asp" onSubmit="return FormSubmit();" onkeypress="return FormKeyHandler();">
[/VBS]

Does anyone know of a better way to do this?

Thanks,
Joe

yes, i made a key capture script a while back.

if you push enter or b or p it will print either a <br> or <p> in the box

i doubt the site will load as port5.com is crap

if not heres the code

<script>

    function keyCapture()
    {
            if (event.keyCode == 13)
            {
                Output.innerText+='<br>';
                event.returnValue=false;
            }
            else if (event.keyCode == 80)
            {
                Output.innerText+='<p>';
                event.returnValue=false;
            }
            else if (event.keyCode == 66)
            {
                Output.innerText+='<br>';
                event.returnValue=false;
            }
            else
            {
            Output.innerText+=' key : ' + event.keyCode + ' ';
            event.returnValue=false;
            }
    }

</script>

  <input type="checkbox" id="Trap" checked>
  <input type="text" id="txt" onkeydown="keyCapture()" size="60"><br>

  <textarea id="Output"   rows="30" cols="50"></textarea>
