I had a problem where I wanted to use images as the buttons on forms, but then I lost the "enter" key and "spacebar" functionality. I ended up doing this to solve it.
<input type="image" onclick="document.agentForm.action='/do/agent?Dispatch=Save'; document.agentForm.submit();" src="/images/btn_reg_save_def.gif" border="0" alt="Save agent" onmouseover="src='/images/btn_reg_save_roll.gif'" onmouseout="src='/images/btn_reg_save_def.gif'"/> I use the syntax above for the "default" button on the form and leave the other buttons <a href...><img...></a> Don't know if something like this would work in your situation though. It works in IE and Netscape. -----Original Message----- From: Erik Weber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2004 9:34 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [OT] "Enter" key listener for form submittal It is necessary in my case because it is a requirement specified by the client. On very simple forms, it often won't require any programming. But if you have multiple submit buttons, it becomes a problem.
