NT5 - Enter key submits form - Can it be prevented
« on: December 21, 2011, 02:40:20 PM »
Hi,

I have a form without Save bttn and none of the buttons on the form are marked as default. When I click on any entry field on the form and press Enter on the keyboard page gets submitted. Is this normal behavior? I saw that form has action attribute which points to whatever I put in "Url on save" template field, however my form doesn't have Save bttn. and if I remove this value action gets populated by some other page name - I think it is caller page name.

Is there any way to prevent submit on Enter key?

thanks,
Alex

Add some validation code to Validate all embed so if some SSV is not set it will throw a warning and not continue.

Alex,

In NT5 it's not likely to change, and it would take some creative JavaScript to suppress the Enter - the submit is being done by the browser - that's the default behavior for enter on a form. It can be suppressed with JavaScript though - and it's something we could add to the list for NT6.

cheers
Bruce
