[SOLVED] textarea

[jaymc]

I need to have a textarea that doesnt break to a newline when you press enter

 

When you press enter I want it to submit the form

 

I only want it to break to a new line if you do shift and enter

 

Is there a way to do this?

javascript offers the onkeydown, onkeyup, and onkeypress events you could use:

IS there a way to check what the actual key is

 

I could do

 

onkeydown if press return do nothing
