2 things to try... 1) You could try using the document.onkeydown event to capture all enter keystrokes and submit the form before the autocompleter calls updateElement.
2) Try providing an updateElement function to the autocompleter which checks if the keystroke was an enter and either submits or completes. Because the event is not tossed into function i'm not sure how to go about capturing the event in some browsers but window.event.keyCode works IE I believe ( Is IE actually better in this respect ? ). I'm sure firefox has a way. > > Hi, > > > > I have an ajax auto completer for a text field in a form.
