On Submit problem

[meldrape]

Greetings,

I'm using the following script so when users are filling out a form and hit enter, it doesn't accidentally submit before they are finished:

<script language =&quot;javascript&quot;>
function onSubmit()
{
document.registration.submit();
}
</script>

Then my input button looks like this:

input type=button value=&quot;Send&quot; onClick=&quot;onSubmit()&quot;>

On my next page, I run a SQL statement to update a database. It won't update if I use this script. When I take the script out and change the button type to submit and remove the reference to the onclick, it works great. Any thoughts? Does the button have to be type=submit for the database to update? Any thoughts or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. THanks.

It might be a conflict, as onSubmit is a form-event.
Try something like this...

<script language =&quot;javascript&quot;>
function Submitter()
{
document.forms.registration.submit();
}
</script>


<FORM NAME='registration'>
...
<Button onClick=&quot;Submitter&quot;>Submit</button>
...
</FORM>

This is not a bug - it's an undocumented feature...
