Simon Brown commented on DS-1023:
---------------------------------
A very quick way of doing this, if I recall correctly, is to set the onsubmit
attribute of the form tag to "return false;" and setting the onclick attribute
of the submit button to a call to submit the form e.g.
"document.edit_metadata.submit()".
A nicer way is to set onsubmit to call a validation routine which checks the
submit event for an enter keypress and returns false if it finds one and true
otherwise.
Also, I note that the JSPUI, at least, is using prototype.js, which has event
observation stuff which works cross-browser; I'm not familiar enough with how
prototype works to be able to say how to do this with it, but it would probably
be the best way to go.

> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: XMLUI
> Reporter: Bram Luyten (@mire)
>
> Currently, linebreaks or enters are not allowed in metadata textboxes. In the
> usecase of Description or Abstract, it's often the case that the text
> contains paragraphs. Including these paragraphs will increase readability for
> the end users. Furthermore, not being able to hit enter in a paragraph
> textbox (not talking about text fields) is not the expected behaviour of such
> a field.
> Its my understanding that the current behaviour is by design, and not
> identified as a bug. I do hope that these arguments will allow a
> re-consideration.
