How to temporarily disable this script? 1

[Sleidia]

Hello,

I'm using the function below in a JS file in order to prevent users from accidentally submitting a form on enter key hit.

But I would like to disable this script on one form only (login form), without altering the JS file, and keeping in mind that there might be other forms displayed on the page that still need the script.

Does anyone have an idea on how to do that?

var nav = window.Event ? true : false;

    if (nav) {
    
    window.captureEvents(Event.KEYDOWN);
    window.onkeydown = NetscapeEventHandler_KeyDown;
    
    } else {
    
    document.onkeydown = MicrosoftEventHandler_KeyDown;
    
    }

function NetscapeEventHandler_KeyDown(e) {

  if (e.which == 13 && e.target.type != 'textarea' && e.target.type != 'submit') { return false };
  
  return true;

}

function MicrosoftEventHandler_KeyDown() {

  if (event.keyCode == 13 && event.srcElement.type != 'textarea' && event.srcElement.type != 'submit')

return false;
return true;

}

Thanks

what does your login form look like? Is it one/two/three fields? Are they all text fields?

Hi vicvirk,

The login form contains :

- two text inputs (log + pass)
- one hidden input (form name)
- one submit input

That's all!

You may need to create another function to over-ride the previous one...

try this:

<form action="#" method="get" id="myFrm">
Name: <input type="text" name="tbx" onKeyDown="checkForEnter(event);" /><br/>
Password: <input type="password" name="pass" onKeyDown="checkForEnter(event);" /><br />
<input type="hidden" value="myFrm" />
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
</form>

<script language="javascript">
function checkForEnter(e) {
	var evt = window.event ? event : e;
	var intAction = evt.charCode ? evt.charCode : evt.keyCode;
	if (intAction == 13) 
		document.getElementById("myFrm").submit();
	} 
</script>
