Prevent A Form From Being Submitted While Pressing Enter Key

how can we prevent a form from being submitted while pressing enter key. Actually I have a text box and on entering a value on that textbox and clicking enter the textbox2 will ge

Solution 1:

Without looking up the actual code, here's the basic theory behind how I'd do it:

Define an event handler on the document for a key being pressed to call a function.

If the key that triggered the event is the enter/return key, return false, otherwise return true.

EDIT: Looks like you already found the answer (as well as some code to do it), so my answer is somewhat unnecessary now.

Solution 2:

Writing 'onKeyPress' of the form like " { var key; if(window.event) key = window.event.keyCode; else key = e.which; //firefox return (key != 13); } " will work.

Solution 3:

what i do is add onsubmit="return false;" to the <form> tag. this will also disable the submit button however to create a working submit button use

<inputtype="button" value="Submit" onclick="javascript:document.form.submit();" />

Solution 4:

This should work

<formonsubmit="return false;">
    //Form elements
</form>
