I used the following code to check for the Enter key being pressed while in
a form field. There may be a better way to write it, but the code below
works for me. It first checks the browser version (because the code to
check for a keystroke is different between browsers). The function, which is
called from a form field checks the keystroke.
var isNav, isIE
if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4) {
if (navigator.appName == "Netscape"){
isNav = true
} else {
isIE = true
}
}
function checkEnter(evt){
var theKey
if (isNav) {
theKey = evt.which
} else {
theKey = window.event.keyCode
}
if (theKey == "13") {
document.frmLogin.submit()
}
}
Sample form field:
<input type="password" name="Password" size="10" maxlength="20"
onkeypress="checkEnter(event)">

Subject: OT: Forms, Submit and maybe JavaScript
Hi All,
I have a basic login form with 3 textboxes, and the suits and design guys
replaced my submit and reset buttons with images. Now, users must tab to the
"Submit" image and hit enter, as opposed to hitting enter from one of the
textboxes after supplying the required info. My HREF from the submit image
calls a JavaScript function which makes sure the textboxes have appropriate
values in them and then submits if all is ok.
How can I allow the users to submit without tabing to the Submit image?
Thanks
James
