[Metacard] capturing the return key in a field
Ok, I give up. What's the secret? This should be obvious and simple, but I can't get any of the alternatives to work. I have a simple field that collects responses when given the focus, and I want to prevent the user from typing a return into the field. However, none of keyDown, rawKeyDown, etc. seem to do it. In the ref stack, it is implied for all that all I have to do is *not* pass the key if it is return and all should be fine, but regardless of what I do ***even if I pass nothing from the handler*** a return is still entered into the field. What gives? For example, the handler in the field scipt: on rawKeyDown x end rawKeyDown *still* puts a return in the field! I am more than a little baffled, not to say frustrated.

John, Put this in your field's script: on returnInField end returnInField This will trap and not pass returns. To do the same for the Enter key, use: on enterInField end enterInField Hope this helps, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ - Original Message - From: John Vokey [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 4:04 PM Subject: [Metacard] capturing the return key in a field Ok, I give up.
