...the earlier replies in this thread? ;-)
Adapting kangax and Justin's responses to your handleEnter function:
Step 1: Modify your handleEnter function so it accepts an event
argument and calls its stop() function if it handles the keypress:
function handleEnter(evt)
{
if (/* whatever your criteria are for handling the event*/)
{
// Handle it:
/* ... */
// And prevent the browser from handling it:
evt.stop();
}
}
Then hook it up like this on load:
$$('input[type=text]').invoke('observe', 'keypress',
handleEnter);
