Enter key posts empty form

[Esoteric]

I have a shopping cart that works great with one small exception. When you change the QTY and press enter the form executes with no valid data so it spits back NO Quantity entered.

I read this is a buggy thing and if I have (2) text fields it works without flaw but I don't need (2) I only need one.

CODE SAMPLE -----------------------------------------
<form action=updatecart.asp method=post>
<input type=text name=QTY size=1 value=<%=rs(&quot;QTY&quot%>>
<input type=hidden name=CARTID value=<%=rs(&quot;CARTID&quot;%>>
<input type=submit name=Update value=Update>
</form>

I read to use the onSubmit = &quot;return false&quot; to disable the enter key and that does work but then my form breaks.

I need to use the onClick = formname.submit() I think but I can't seem to get the specifics on the use of that event.

Hi there

I have actually just been dealing with a similar problem myself.

I'm a little unclear exactly what you are trying to do here. You have a form with a RS quantity showing that the user updates and submits to an asp/sql query right? A little more code would probably help.

Things I would suggest however are:

checking the info actually being passed are you getting a single value(the new qty) or a string(old and new combined)

is your update query syntax ok

can you update other fields ok


Well I hope this is some help

Yes Justin I am using a recordset, I have a lot of sites using this shopping cart and everything works fine, one of the sites is done a lot of business and its working great the only thing is they want to improve its ease of use.

Currently if the customer WACKS that enter key it just tells them HEY you need to use the UPDATE button. Kind of a pain to explain to a business owner why its doing that.

Looking for answers.

You can use the onSubmit return false in the <FORM> tag to keep the enter key not working. It works better if you have a blank function that just returns false though, sometimes it has problems without a function i.e. onSubmit(&quot;return callFunction();&quot where callFunction just returns false.

You can use the onClick() event, but you don't put it in your <FORM> tag. You have to put it in your <INPUT TYPE=BUTTON onSubmit(&quot;&quot NAME=&quot;btnSubmit&quot; VALUE=&quot;SUBMIT&quot;> like so. Putting an onClick() in the <FORM> tag does nothing that I know of.

Oops. I ment onClick in the button code, not onSubmit. Harold Blackorby
