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

Yes, but by how much? You'll probably shave much more off the byte count by optimising your graphics than scrimping on quotes. Assuming a 56K modem downloading at 4KB/s, you would have to remove over 4000 quotes to save 1 sec of download time. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* President Reagan has noted that there are too many economic pundits and forecasters and has decided on an excess prophets tax. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Really big thank to everybody, But, now, I know what happening, because I check form submit using isset($_POST['submit']), so if user don't press submit button, $_POST['submit'] stay null even the rest is already sent.

Hi Rija: No It's not "mandatory" to put quotes around attributes, but it would be wise to use this style="recommended" method of representing attributes, if for no reason="other" than to get used to a habit="good". coding="happiness" David On Monday, November 11, 2002, at 12:36 AM, rija wrote: Sure !

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.

RE: [PHP] Submit hitting enter problem
A missing 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.

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.

Actually, I miss-read your question... do you WANT the form to be submitted when hitting return/enter??? And you find that this is not happening when you are in a text field??? Correct? 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. There may be something you can do with javascript.

Re: [PHP] Submit hitting enter problem
Return key presses in a 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.
