[Resolved] Submit Buttons

[g7ibby]

How can I check if user has pressed the submit button or just pressed enter on a form? I used phpinfo() and the submit button values are there if they press it or not.

Thanks

Why do you care which way they submitted the form?

The users seem to have a habit of pressing enter between fields. The result is numerous entry from the same person. I cant just put a required fields because the form is a opinion survey that has no required fields.

Well, it'd be a pretty nasty hack, but you could always add a second submit button. If you name them both so that with javascript you can tell them apart, you could just ignore the first one. Now, to make it look better to the user, you could make the first one an image button where the image you use is something the user can't see. So, you'd have something like:

<input type=image name=submit_one src="my_blank_image.gif">
<input type=submit name=submit_two>

Then in your javascript, don't submit the form unless the submit_two button is clicked.

As I said, a pretty nasty hack but it should work.
