We're accessibility testing at the moment. We've got some email forms (ie. Put in your email address to subscribe -> submit) that do not currently submit if you press enter. Personally I feel this should be an accessibility issue, but I am finding it difficult to locate any solid documentation to back up my claim. I've had the argument put to me that a keyboard only user could still tab to the submit button, then press enter, but this seems very unintuitive to me to force users to do this.
I've also had put to me that some users get confused if they want to put line breaks in a field and submit by accident... and so to be consistent pressing enter should never submit a form. (data entry people would love that one :P) Is submitting by pressing enter from a form best practice, or just common practice? Is it an accessibility problem? ... and to what degree? *********************************************************************** WARNING: The information contained in this email may be confidential.
