Michael, this is the original question I posted (yesterday morning):
<snip>
I found this JavaScript, which is supposed to listen for the "Enter" key on any browser (and submit the form on keypress). However, it doesn't seem to be working in IE:
<script language="JavaScript">
if (document.layers) document.captureEvents(Event.KEYDOWN);
document.onkeydown = function (evt) {
var keyCode = evt ? (evt.which ? evt.which : evt.keyCode) : evt.keyCode;
if (keyCode == 13) {
document.forms[0].submit();
}
}
</script>
Does anyone have an "Enter" key listener that has been shown to work in all browsers, or know what is wrong with this one?
</snip>
Someone noted that I really should return false after the line that submits the form; I have not tried it with that change.
I'm not sure about IE 6, but it didn't work in IE 5. Same story with a "hidden" submit button which was arranged to be the first button in the form:
<html:submit style="display:none"/>

Rick, I tried putting a hidden submit button (<html:submit style="display:none"/>) in front of my cancel button to intercept the "Enter" key, but again, this worked in Mozilla but not IE (just like my key listener JavaScript).
So I'm still looking for an Enter key listener that is portable. I haven't tried every suggestion I got though.

Would this button then need an onclick to submit the form, or is that not necessary?
I haven't had to use the approach but I don't think it would be necessary to add an onclick. Just make it's a regular submit button and make sure it's hidden after the <html:form > tag
Where is the rest of this discussion? Is it under a different subject? I am interested in the topic and probably have an answer, but need to see the question to be sure.
