TeddyKiller Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Considering the enter key only does new lines and doesn't submit the form. Quite impossible.

trq Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Considering the enter key only does new lines and doesn't submit the form. Quite impossible. You'll need to tab out of whatever box your typing in obviously.

cags Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Attach a JavaScript keydown event, if the key is enter submit the form. This isn't possible with PHP as it is client side.

You'll need to tab out of whatever box your typing in obviously. Well yeah, but how would you do it just by clicking enter? I've tried all methods and they dont actually work. Attach a JavaScript keydown event, if the key is enter submit the form. This isn't possible with PHP as it is client side. Again, I've tried many methods.. this is what I've got at the moment. <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function submitenter(myfield,e) { var keycode; if (window.event) keycode = window.event.keyCode; else if (e) keycode = e.which; else return true; if (keycode == 13) { document.form.submit(); return false; } else return true; } //--> </script> <form> <textarea name="nonaction" cols="50" rows="3" wrap="virtual" id="rptext" class="textarea" onKeyPress="return submitenter(this,event)"></textarea> <input type=submit value=SUBMIT> </form> Thoguh it doesn't work, though yes. It is a text area. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/195065-submit-form-on-enter-button/#findComment-1025415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
