You can do that with JavaScript. > When > all of the fields of data have been entered, simply hitting the ENTER key > results in the screen full of data fields being submitted, validated and > then the screen is "reset" to empty field values again for additional data > entry. IME, this works as long as the focus is not in a text area, in which case ENTER will merely move you down one line. Enter in most(all?) other types of HTML form elements is the same as "clicking" the first button on the form. Make sure that button is the 'submit' button. (BTDT... the "first" button in my form was delete! Now I have an 'invisible' button that does nothing if they press enter-- I want them to positively tell me they're finished.) > I'm not sure if I can code things so that some other single keystroke can be > used in place of clicking a "CANCEL" button on the form, such as hitting the > ESC key and having that trigger an event in the JSP that is the same as > clicking the "CANCEL" button. I don't think so... in fact ESC is the same as clicking the 'stop' button in IE, so it could be dangerous. You might have to train them out of that particular keystroke. -- Wendy Smoak --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
