Disable the "Enter" as Submit behavior?

Jun 30, 2006 06:43 PM|fangrui|LINK
With a form with multiple submit buttons, the behavior is extremely annoying.

Does anyone know of any good way of getting rid of it?

That's easy. To disable the Enter key, you can use javascript:
First, add onkeydown in the body tag:
<body onclick="javascript:EnterKeyFilter();" >

And then, add the function:
function EnterKeyFilter()
{ if (window.event.keyCode == 13)
    {   event.returnValue=false;
        event.cancel = true;
    }
}

That's it.

sorry, I made a mistake.
the body tag should like this:
<body onkeydown="javascript:EnterKeyFilter();">

Not onclick.

Hi,

If you were using ASP.Net buttons, then you can set the UseSubmitBehavior property to false.

Thanks

This worked nicely: if (eventArgs.KeyCode == 13) return false;

<asp:Button ID="btnOpen" runat="server" Text="Open" OnClientClick=" if (eventArgs.KeyCode == 13) return false;"/>

If a confimation is desired then use:

<asp:Button ID="btnOpen" runat="server" Text="Open" OnClientClick=" if (eventArgs.KeyCode == 13) return false; return confirm('All unsaved data will be lost. Continue Open?');"/>

This is so simple,

Try below on <body> tag

<body onkeydown="return (event.keyCode!=13)" onunload="">
