hi i had a really good idea for this but it is for a different language. i need this to work in javascript. anyway this was my idea and problem. when a user hits the enter button no matter what field he/she is in, the form has to submit. now i am already doing client side javascipt. so if the user fills out the last name input box and hits the "Enter" button on the Keyboard then the form must submit(actually call my jscript function). now in vb script i woulld just use to KeyAscii function and check to see is "13" the "Enter" key was pressed and then do something. is there any function like that in client side javascript.

this should work for both, you may have to tweak a little to get the right effect:

ns4 = (document.layers)?true:false;
ie4 = (document.all)?true:false;

function keyDown(e)
{
if(ns4){var keyhit=e.which;}
if(ie4){var keyhit=event.keyCode;}
if(keyhit==13)
{
document.formname.submit()
}
}

document.onkeydown = keyDown
if (ns4) document.captureEvents(Event.KEYDOWN)
