I think a better practice would be to not use the enter button. What Ajax framework if any are you using? Most should have a watcher / observer event type system to monitor changes to a specific element.

Vector To: CF-Talk Sent: Tue Jun 12 00:18:05 2007 Subject: OnEnter issues I have a form that I'm using with AJAX calls to the DB. I'd like to use Enter to call the AJAX function. However, the form is trying to submit itself when I press enter. Is there a way of disableing enter from submitting a form on a page? Or is there a workaround that someone can think of? I've tried redirecting the form back to the form itself, but the problem becomes that I have a onkeydown already defined and that seems to be taking presidence on the calls. So it goes to the keydown and doesn't go to enter.. Any ideas? <body onload="showmessages()"> <cfoutput> <form action="#self#Chat.Default" method="Post"> Message: <input type="text" id="Message" onenter="entermessage()" onkeydown="showmessages()" size="40"> <input type="Hidden" id="Room" value="1"> </form> </cfoutput> <HR> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
