HTML form does not submit in IE on Enter Key

[htmlbabe]

I have a strange problem in IE!

I created a form which has 5 input fields and a submit button. A javascript function validates the form on submit event.

The Problem:
In firefox, when I press "Enter" Key, the form gets submitted and the validation function works. But In IE browsers, when "Enter" key is pressed, nothing happens (It does not submit the form) .

Please Help... Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

Try the following :

Step 1:
Define the following JavaScript function:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
function pressedKey()
{
   if(event.keyCode==13)
   {
      /*document.getElementById("same as your submit button's id").focus();*/
      document.getElementById("SubmitButton").focus();
   }
}
</script>


Step 2:
Add the following in your form(onkeypress="pressedKey();) tag:

Code: Select all

<form name="yourfromname" action="youraction" target="_parent" id="yourfromname" method="post" onsubmit="return validateForm(this);"  onkeypress="pressedKey();">
/*Form Input fields 1*/

/*Form Input fields 2*/

<input name="SubmitButton" id="SubmitButton" type="submit" title="Submit this form" />

</form>


Important: The submit button id should be the same as defined in the function(Step1)

That's it...........
