p2grace Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 If you wrap it in a form then the enter will automatically act as a submit. If you need help post your html code so we can edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p2grace Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Try this, you had the form ending before the table. I also converted your width and valign to proper css. <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="380" height="30"> <tr> <td style="width: 297px; vertical-align: middle;"><input type="text" name="gosearch" size="40" /></td> <td style="width: 108px; vertical-align: middle;"><input type="submit" value="Go Search" name="search" /></td> </tr> </table> </form> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcom Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 I tried and still having the same problem. When I type in a word in the text area and click on go search button everything works but if I just type in the word and press the enter key on the keyboard I don`t get any results. How can I code this so when user hits the enter key on the keyboard. if(isset($_POST['search']) ){ //Submit button hit or Enter button hit } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p2grace Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The script below works on enter, I just tested it. If this doesn't work for you then please post your code so we can see the issue. <?php if(isset($_POST['gosearch'])){ echo $_POST['gosearch']; } ?> <html> <head> </head> <body> <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="380" height="30"> <tr> <td style="width: 297px; vertical-align: middle;"><input type="text" name="gosearch" size="40" /></td> <td style="width: 108px; vertical-align: middle;"><input type="submit" value="Go Search" name="search" /></td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcom Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks for the information. I got it to work I change code around that you submited. I remove input submit name and change text area name to keywords. Thanks for the help if(isset($_POST['keywords'])){ //it works } <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="380" height="30"> <tr> <td style="width: 297px; vertical-align: middle;"><input type="text" name="keywords" size="40"/></td> <td style="width: 108px; vertical-align: middle;"><input type="submit" value="Go Search" /></td> </tr> </table> </form> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
