Hi,

This is really melting my face. I have a .aspx page with a form. I have
submit buttons on the page for different stages. What i really need is
to stop the form submitting when the return/enter key is pressed.

At the moment if you press the enter key it executes the button clicks
which i dont want.

If someone could help i would be mighty grateful.

Thanks

Client side script can solve this problem.

You could use this free control.

And here are a couple good articles on the subject:

one approach is to trap the enter key event on client side. Read this link

Thank you all for your replies. I was trying to do it client side from
the start but couldnt seem to get it working. I eventually wrote
something that worked. Its an onkeypress event for the body tag and it
goes a little something like this:

onkeypress='if ((event.which ? event.which : event.keyCode) == 13) {
event.keyCode = 0; }'

thanks again
