submit form on enter button

[TeddyKiller]

How can I submit a form using the enter key on the keyboard?

1: Fill in Form

2: Press enter

Considering the enter key only does new lines and doesn't submit the form. Quite impossible.

 

Oh and I just noticed, this is the wrong place for this post >.< Sorry

You'll need to tab out of whatever box your typing in obviously.

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

only if your typeing in a textarea

 

Also:

PHP doesnt actually have forms. Try htmlfreaks.com

Well yeah, but how would you do it just by clicking enter? I've tried all methods and they dont actually work.

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.

I think Tazerenix was just hinting that your question was in the wrong board.

No, double posting is NOT allowed. Your thread has been moved (twice) and is now in the correct location.

Oh. Ok. I am sorry.

Can you help me with why it doesn't work with the code up there ^
