Normally pressing Return will only work if there's a text input field. If a form is submitted automatically when you select from a menu and has no submit button you're completely stuffed. However this sounds a bit like the problem I was having this morning with nPower's meter reading page. After entering your readings you get a form on which you can enter your details. On the same page there is a smaller form for logging in. If you type your password and press Return the page comes back with errors on all the fields in the main form because you haven't entered any data. If you click the "Log in" button you get logged in. For some reason Return is submitting the wrong form. It could be faulty html of course. -- Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:[email protected] I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
