Disable Enter key in Forms

[kevinold]

Hello everyone,

I've searched google and found several scripts that will "Disable" the
enter key in forms, but none of them seem to work in Firefox 1.0.

One such is here http://www.phpfreaks.com/quickcode/code/162.php

Also, on another note, where did the Netscape Javascript reference site
(also known as DevEdge) go? Anyone aware of where other Javascript
references are?

Any help is appreciated!

Kevin

You should try capturing the onkeypress event at the document level,
where it can be blocked.

KeyPressEvent = function (event) {
if (event.which != 13) return true;

event.returnValue = false;
event.preventDefault();
}
document.addEventListener("keypress", KeyPressEvent, true);


that should work. track the event.target to get only the Enter on a
textarea etc.
