A user (on Sarari) was filling in the form and everytime he pressed enter, the form submitted. How do I stop this happening?
Thanks

It is necessary that you download and edit the form's source code:
Now it is necessary that you paste only the green parts into your form's source code. The script part is inserted inside the <head> tag. The "onkeydown" needs to be added to all the fields where we wish to disable enter key:
<pre>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript"> function testForEnter() { if (event.keyCode == 13) { event.cancelBubble = true; event.returnValue = false; } } </SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM id="FORM2" name="FORM2" method="GET" action="testSubmit.htm" style="background-color:lightblue"> <H3>Form2: Stops form submission when user presses ENTER key.</H3> <INPUT id="text2" name="text2" onDISABLEDkeydown="testForEnter();"> <INPUT type="submit" value="Submit">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
</pre>
You can test this form. Only the name field has this code associated, because it is important to keep the enter function on the comment box:

This is nuts. If I could figure out how to do this, I probably would not have needed JOTFORM in the first place. Please, Jotform, give us another solution.
