Re: [PHP] Submit hitting enter problem
One point nobody seems to have raised about why its important to quote attribute values ... ? $Value=foo bar; echo INPUT type=text value=$Value; ? will produce the following code in the browser INPUT type=text value=foo bar and renders in the browser (testing in ie6) as a text box containing only the word foo (The browser sets the value to foo and things bar is an unknown attribute so correctly ignores it) quoting the attribute value fixes it ? $Value=foo bar; echo INPUT type='text' value='$Value' ? produces INPUT type='text' value='foo bar' Jason Wong [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:20021233.17744.php-general;gremlins.com.hk...

Re: [PHP] Submit hitting enter problem
Return key presses in a textarea will usually be converted into a newline (\n). Making your browser submit the form when you press enter is an HTML/Browser issue. You probably should look at a javascript solution because this is a client side problem.

This is a browser thing... I don't *think* there's anything in the standards to say when hitting enter should/shouldn't work -- i think it's something that each browser will do differently.

This doesn't have anything to do with PHP, it's dependant on the browser you are using. IE will do this for you sometimes, while most other browsers don't, I think.

RE: [PHP] Submit hitting enter problem
A missing /form tag? Some browsers are picky, so you might want to also do what someone else suggested to you earlier, which is to put quotes around your attribute values. This is especially important to implement while HTML fades out and languages based on XML (XHTML in particular) fade into popularity. Good luck. -Original Message- From: rija [mailto:rija;vatu.com] Sent: Sunday, November 10, 2002 8:45 PM To: php Subject: [PHP] Submit hitting enter problem What am I missing?

Re: [PHP] Submit hitting enter problem
Sure ! But just simple question? Is it necessary to put quotes around these attributes values? Because I think quotes increase the site size, and using IE4, IE5, IE6, NS4, OPERA, quotes don't change anything. Of course if I have somethings with space, for value's attribute, It is important to put quote because sometimes users enter space. - Original Message - From: Jason Wong [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 3:33 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Submit hitting enter problem What happens when ENTER is pressed depends on what browser you're using.

Re: [PHP] Submit hitting enter problem
well, you are right they may work, but according to the sepcification qoutes should be added, you should follow it, because you don't know the hidden browsers out there which you didn't test, and IE, Opera, NS can't guarantee that they will support this behaviour in future releases _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Let's put it this way, using quotes will not break any browser. Not using quotes /may/ make your page not work correctly on browsers which implement strict syntax checking. Because I think quotes increase the site size, and using IE4, IE5, IE6, NS4, OPERA, quotes don't change anything. Yes, but by how much? You'll probably shave much more off the byte count by optimising your graphics than scrimping on quotes.

Some browsers (eg Opera) will submit your form as if you had clicked on the submit button. Others (eg IE), like you've already found out for yourself, submits the form but does not send the submit button. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * /* If in any problem you find yourself doing an immense amount of work, the answer can be obtained by simple inspection. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
