form submit cancel

[dexeloper]

I've built myself an Ajax framework that is working well. However I want the user to be able to hit the 'Enter' button for certain functions rather than click a button.

I'm aware of 'onsubmit' and 'return false' in classic form processing but that isn't relevant here.

Within the 'button' tag a I have an 'onclick' function but I never want to submit the form as such. All processing is done via Ajax requests. I want the form fields so I need the form.

Hope this makes sense. I want to cancel the automatic submission of the form when 'enter' is hit but there doesn't seem to be a way.

This is really a javascript question (rather than being AJAX specific) and would be much better resolved over there at forum216 .

Cheers,

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!
