To be safe, I usually include a hidden variable with a unique name in the form (). That way, no matter what browsers do about the Enter key, I still know what's going on. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Right, but I was trying to come up with a way for the original poster to test to see if the user had simply hit "enter" or if they had actually hit the "submit" button (not as a test to see if the form was being viewed for the first time). IIRC he was having problems determining whether or not the user had hit "enter" or hit the submit button. Erik Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.

I have noticed that pressing enter in IE does achieve the same effect as pressing the "submit" button for my forms. But I have also heard that it's not really "the same", especially if there are more than one "submit"-style inputs for the given form. What does Enter "really" do in IE? Side note to the original poster: in the script that is the target of the form you are writing, you may be able to test for the presence of the "submit" variable -- if this value is not present, then the user has not clicked the Submit button. I know that the "value" of a submit input is usually just used to label the button in some way (such as value="Click Here for Free Porn!"), but you can actually test for this value if you have given the Submit input a name. I may be wrong about this, though. Erik Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.

Will this still work with straight html? You can't have your cake and eat it :) What you require can only be done client-side which means the only sensible solution is javascript. But, what are the undesirable effects of just pressing enter? I know that in IE pressing enter to submit a form is not the same as clicking on the submit button. If that is what you are referring to then it's very easy to code around that and thus would not require javascript. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk /* Yow!

Thanks Martin,
I forgot to mention: I would like to accomplish this using PHP since I'm not
using Javascript. Will this still work with straight html?

Subject: [PHP] Trap CR or "Enter" possible?
In one of my php pages, I have a form that requires the user to click
"Search
for Surname". If however they press "Enter", undesirable effects occur.
I've successfully trapped if an empty string is in the , but "Enter" eludes my efforts to trap it for an
appropriate
"Educational" message about following instructions :>
ie:
if ($sname == "") {echo "Please enter a Surname and click "Search for
Surname'.", exit;}
if (eregi(\r == true) {exit;} // something tells me this isn't correct!!
Any ideas how I can accomplish this -- the code is asking for search
criteria
for a query into PostgreSQL (it's coded between )
Any ideas, suggestions, or where to look would be appreciated.
Tia,
Andre

[PHP] Trap CR or "Enter" possible?
In one of my php pages, I have a form that requires the user to click "Search
for Surname". If however they press "Enter", undesirable effects occur.
I've successfully trapped if an empty string is in the , but "Enter" eludes my efforts to trap it for an appropriate

Any ideas how I can accomplish this -- the code is asking for search criteria
for a query into PostgreSQL (it's coded between )
Any ideas, suggestions, or where to look would be appreciated.
