RE: form user interface issue
Maybe the button dosen't have focus when the enter key is hit.
This added to your javascript may help
function check_email_onkeypress()
{
if ("13" == window.event.keyCode) {
form.submit();
}
}
Also, I usually use the name attribute for the form. Like
If you do that, your elements need to be be preceeded with f1, so the code
block would be
function f1.check_email_onkeypress()
{
if ("13" == window.event.keyCode) {
f1.submit();
}
}
Thanks a good practice because a page can have multiple forms.
Good Luck, bb

Re: form user interface issue
That form probably has a submit button that has a parameter name="...".
The script might be checking for that param('...').
If the form is submitted by pressing the button, that parameter from the
submit button is sent to the server while if the form is submitted by
pressing enter from another form field, it is not, so the script will fail
when checking for it.
The solution is to put another hidden field like and remove the name="..." parameter from the submit
tag.

RE: form user interface issue
Okay, I think that I'm getting closer. I've condensed my code so that it is
a little clearer.
perl decision making code:
if ($choice eq "") {
checkemailform(); # displays form
}
elsif ($choice eq "check") {
checkemail(); # inserts the data
}
Are you suggesting this for the form?:
I took the name value out of the submit input tag and included a hidden
field that includes a the name choice and the value check, which is what I
logic code is looking for. Do you think this is the correct path?
Thanks in advance. I appreciate your "input."
Thanks,
Andrew
