stop enter key from submitting a form

[Phil]

Anyone know how to stop , in html, the enter key
from submitting a form ? That is, in my online survey,
if I accidently press [enter], the software interpretes
it as equivalent to clicking on the "submit' button.
The solution has to work on Netscape or IE (veerions 5 or higher)
Any ideas are appreciated.

Well, you could try to catch the key press with javascript and have it
return false. That's a little vague I know, but just to give you a
general idea...

It appears this can't be done reliably.
