The behavior of the enter with regard to form submissions is not a standard. The different browsers try to behave in the same way, but they aren't quite there. > A possible workaround to this is to intercept the return key > completely (and this prevent the user from submitting the form > pressing return in the text field), is there a better solution? I've found out that enter only submits the form if there is an input of type submit or image. So, you can change your submit into a button with an onclick handler. This will fix your problem but will also make it so that enter won't submit the form for other fields either. To fix it for just that field you might have to change your local copy of scriptaculous to do something different with Safari. If you get it working, then definitely submit it back as a patch. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
