Hitting Enter on a Page 1

[mattclarke]

When a user visits a site and enters text in a search area, he/she often hits enter to submit the query. On my page, using Speedware Autobahn, hitting enter performs a different function and takes the user to a blank page.

How can i indicated what i want enter to function as. I want enter to act as if the user selected the SUBMIT/Search button on the page.

Thanks in advance,

this is a tough one. I know an ugly way to do this.

in all text fields add onkeypress="return (event.keyCode != 13)" :

<form>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; onkeypress=&quot;return (event.keyCode != 13)&quot;>
</form>

Of course this isn't the most elegant way. BTW what the heck is Speedware Autobahn? Gary

Thanks for the input xutopia! i will give it a try.

Speedware Autobahn is an application that interacts with our hp3000 relational *cough*OLD*cough* database for web application.

i hope that makes sense.....
