Submit form on Enter

[Cogen]

Is it possible to have input textboxes in a form that allow the user to hit the "Enter" key to submit the form, instead of clicking a submit button?

you want something like this I think

<script language="JavaScript">
NS4 = (document.layers) ? true : false;

function checkEnter(event)
{

var code = 0;

if (NS4)
    code = event.which;
else
    code = event.keyCode;
if (code==13)
    document.myform.submit();

}
</script>

<input type="text" name="User" onKeyPress="checkEnter(event)">

Hope that helps

i am sorry for asking this at this place, but:
having more than 1 form, how can i differentiate which form is to be submitted using the method above...?

i got no clue...

[lanjoky]

change the last line of the script
document.FormName.submit()

CHange "FormName" to the name of the Form you want to submit... make sure both forms are named

Thanks lanjoky. I haven't had time to try out your code on my project yet, but it looks like it's perfect for what I want. 🙂

Can I ask why this is included?

NS4 = (document.layers) ? true : false;
