submitting a form by pressing 'Enter'

[GezH]

I have a form within my JSP page. If the user submits the form by pressing enter and not by pressing the submit button, it has unwanted outcomes.

Is there anything I can do to test how the form has been submitted, and to mimick the pressing of the button is Enter is pressed?

Thanks for any advice.

How about using javascript to submit. Call the button a button rather than a submit. Call a JScript onClick to submit the form.

<input type=&quot;button&quot; name=&quot;myButton&quot; onClick=&quot;takeMe()&quot;>
<script>
function takeMe() {
document.forms[0].submit();
}
</script>

No, my problem is that if Enter is pressed, the action of pressing the button is not achieved. Therefore when I go to check various request parameters on the next page, they don't exist. Tricky.

Using a button instead of a submit will cause the user to press the button. The return or enter key won't submit the form.
