You're using cfform, right? Form.submit() does not drive the form submission event. What you can do is look at your form page's html source and find the javascript in the <form> tag that is called when the form is submitted. Call the same functions in your button tag and it should work.

I included the following: <input type="button" name="Submit" Value="Submit Request" onClick="form.submit()"> This does work as far as resticting the Enter Key, but the Required attribute does not work now. The user does not get a message if a required field is left blank, and the form is acted upon, producing errors. If I take the above code out and insert a plain submit button, the Required attribute works, but not restricting the Enter key. Anyone have an idea on how to do both, restrict form submission only when the button is selected and checking for required fields? Tim --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
