Here's some simpler JavaScript, that doesn't require an ExtraHTMLText setting:
===================================
//this function prevents the ENTER key from submitting the form
function enterKey(event) {
if (event.which == 13)
{
return(false);
}
}
document.captureEvents(Event.KEYPRESS);
document.onkeypress=enterKey;
===================================

Subject: Re: [ND] Preventing ENTER button to submit a form
You could use some JavaScript to disable the enter buttons default
action (to submit the form) if there are only one textfield on the page
even though I don't understand why you want to do this.
on your ND-page:
ExtraHTMLText="onsubmit=return checkNumOfTextBoxes(this)"
in the htm-file:
add the JavaScript function in the HEAD tag
ex.
function checkNumOfTextBoxes(myForm) {
var numOfTextBox = 0
for (var i=0; i<myForm.elements.length; i++) {
numOfTextBoxes += (my_forms.elements[i].type == "text") ? 1 : 0
}
return (numOfTextBoxes != 1)
}
