Return Key Disable

Volker Schubert Oct 22, 2002

This script prevents the "early submitting" of forms by disabling the Return Key in simple Input Tags and allowing it in TextAreas

The JavaScript Source: Forms: Return Key Disable

Simply click inside the window below, use your cursor to highlight the script, and copy (type Control-c or Apple-c) the script into a new file in your text editor (such as Note Pad or Simple Text) and save (Control-s or Command-s). The script is yours!!!

<!-- TWO STEPS TO INSTALL RETURN KEY DISABLE:

1.  Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document

2.  Add the last code into the BODY of your HTML document  -->

<HEAD>

function checkCR(evt) {

var evt  = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null);

var node = (evt.target) ? evt.target : ((evt.srcElement) ? evt.srcElement : null);

if ((evt.keyCode == 13) && (node.type=="text")) {return false;}

}

document.onkeypress = checkCR;

</script>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

Field 1:<input type="text" name="field1" size="40"><br>

Field 2:<input type="text" name="field2" size="40"><br>

Field 3:<textarea name="field3"></textarea><br>

</form>
