catching enter key pressed

[malonep]

Hi,

i have a page that when the enter key is pressed it moved down to the next textbox.

It works good for windows netscape/ie and mac ie but when I test it on a mac using safari when the enter key is pressed the whole page refreshes and any information that is entered is lost.
I have caught the enter key by the following code.

Does anyone know why only mac safari would be reloading the page and how to stop it from happening.

var nextGrade, netscape, ver, len, iln;
	var inputField;
	nextField= "txtField-99";
	netscape = "";
	ver = navigator.appVersion;
	len = ver.length;
	for(iln=0; iln < len; iln++){
		if (ver.charAt(iln) == "(")
			break;
	}
	netscape = (ver.charAt(iln+1).toUpperCase() != "C");
	
	function keyDown (DnEvents){
		var key;
		key = (netscape) ? DnEvents.which : window.event.keyCode;
		if (key == 13){ //the enter key
			if (nextField == 'txtField-99'){
				return true;
			}
			else{
				try{
					eval('window.document.gbIndvGradesEntryMiddle.' + nextField+ '.select()');
				}
				catch(er){
					alert("Cannot move to next Field.");
				}
				return false;
			}
		}
	}
	
	document.onkeydown = keyDown;

A sample of how I set up the textboxes

<input type="text" name = "<%=cstr("txtField" & trim(rs4.Fields("cFieldid")))%>" id = "<%=cstr("txtField" & trim(rs4.Fields("cFieldid")))%>" 
   	value= "<%=nValue%>" 
   	onblur="FieldCheck(this,'<%=iID%>');"   	onFocus="nextField='txtField<%=iID%>';">

any help would be appreciated

Maybe it's the VB interpretor that fails rather than the JS engine??!!

Have a go in the VBscript forum - forum329
