Submit form on Enter

[gojohnnygogogogo]

hello,
how can I submit a form by pressing the Enter key ?

I have tried :

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function enter(event,ourform) {
if (event && event.which == 13)
ourform.submit();
else
return true;}
</SCRIPT>

<form method=&quot;post&quot; name=&quot;s1&quot; action=&quot;.\SearchResults.asp&quot;>
<DIV align=center>Enter Forename<INPUT name=forename onkeypress=&quot;return enter(event,this.form)&quot;> </DIV><p>
<DIV align=center>Enter Surname<INPUT name=surname onkeypress=&quot;return enter(event,this.form)&quot;></DIV><p>
</form>

but doesn't work.
I am using WINdows2000 IIS and IE5 +

Usually the submit button of a form is automatically activated ('clicked') when a user presses enter. -----------------------------------------------------------------

problem is I don't have a submit button, just a normal button that runs some javascript to validate the page, then submit.

Use the &quot;onSubmit&quot; handler to run the script (returning false will keep the form from submitting). The script will execute when the form tries to submit....

<form method=post onSubmit=&quot;return myScript()&quot;> -----------------------------------------------------------------
DIM bulb
SET bulb = NEW brain

In case,you havent got around the problem,try this:
function fnSubmitForm()
{
document.formname.action=&quot;define the action&quot;;
document.formname.submit();
}

//Function to submit the page on pressing the Enter key
function fnSubmitOnEnter(e)
{
var charCode = e.keyCode;
if (charCode == 13)
{
document.formname.cmdButton.focus();
}
}

And onclick of the button(cmdButton) call fnSubmitForm()

Forgot one little detail...

You need to add the onkeypress handler to all controls in your form as given below:

onkeypress=&quot;javascript:fnSubmitOnEnter(event)&quot;
