Re: [ND] Preventing ENTER button to submit a form

[Krupesha C]

Hi all,

Is there any way to make short cut keys in an HTML page?. If I want to
capture key strokes like Ctrl+O, Shift+O or F8, how do I accomplish?.
Event.KEYPRESS will be triggered as soon as the first key is pressed.

Thanks,
Krupesha

Here's some simpler JavaScript, that doesn't require an ExtraHTMLText
setting:
===================================

//this function prevents the ENTER key from submitting the form
function enterKey(event) {
 if (event.which == 13)
    {
      return(false);
    }
}
document.captureEvents(Event.KEYPRESS);
document.onkeypress=enterKey;

===================================

You could use some JavaScript to disable the enter buttons default
action (to submit the form) if there are only one textfield on the page
even though I don't understand why you want to do this.

on your ND-page:
ExtraHTMLText="onsubmit=return checkNumOfTextBoxes(this)"

in the htm-file:
add the JavaScript function in the HEAD tag
ex.
function checkNumOfTextBoxes(myForm) {
    var numOfTextBox = 0
    for (var i=0; i<myForm.elements.length; i++) {
        numOfTextBoxes += (my_forms.elements[i].type == "text") ? 1 : 0
    }
    return (numOfTextBoxes != 1)
}
