Turn off "enter key" submit function

[mirirom]

heya,

i'm working on an .asp form using 2 submit buttons. it'd be great if i could remove IE's functionality of automatically calling the 1st "submit" button found when the enter key is presseed - thereby forcing the user to click/choose a selection.

is there any way to do this? i've read a few posts about forcing a default from one button to another, however, this kind of fix really isn't applicable to my situation (no default can be realistically determined).

any suggestions are appreciated! thanks =)

try to use in the onkeydown or in the onkeypress event of the first button the following:
sub submit1_onclick
window.event.cancelBubble =true
end sub
sub submit1_onkeydown
window.event.cancelBubble =true
end sub ________

hi shaddow,

tx for your reply. tried implementing your suggestion and unfortunately, it didn't work. the events were called correctly, however, the

window.event.cancelBubble = true

method didn't do anything. perhaps i'm missing something? sorry for my ignorance; i'm new to web programming and my familiarity with the various object collections is less than desireable.. . .

Hey if u want user to click on button to submit the form then why r u using the submit buttons .. use normal buttons and submit the for only when he clicks it..

Hope this helps ..

indeed,

i changed the input type of one of the "submit" items to "button", then overloaded the

object_onClick

event. interesting note though: the

form.action

and

form.submit

methods do not work with the

onClick

event. however,

window.navigate

does --- provided that elements of the QueryString are passed with the URL (e.g.

window.navigate "//someDir/somePage.asp?control=" & _ form.control.value

thanks for your input again.

It should work use:

document.formname.action="TargetPage url"
document.formname.method="get" or "post"
document.formname.submit();


this will submit the form if u include it in button click.

hope this will work for u..
