[jQuery] Re: submitting the form by pressing ENTER

In what way did it not work? It could be that your return false is inside an
if statement. Mayne you're not making it into that if statement?

Hi,

Unfortunately, that didn't work for me.  Here was my code:

                $('#pageForm').submit(function() {
                        var page = $('#page').val();
                        if (!isInteger(page)) {
                                alert("The page number must be an
integer.");
                                return false;
                        }
                        if (!setCurrentPage(page)) {
                                return false;
                        }   // if
                });

I did have success when I did

<form id="pageForm" name="pageForm"
action="javascript:submitPageForm();">

Damn, hate going back to the old ways.  Oh well, -
