But, what are the undesirable effects of just pressing enter? I know that in IE pressing enter to submit a form is not the same as clicking on the submit button. If that is what you are referring to then it's very easy to code around that and thus would not require javascript.

I have noticed that pressing enter in IE does achieve the same effect as pressing the "submit" button for my forms. But I have also heard that it's not really "the same", especially if there are more than one "submit"-style inputs for the given form. What does Enter "really" do in IE? Side note to the original poster: in the script that is the target of the form you are writing, you may be able to test for the presence of the "submit" variable -- if this value is not present, then the user has not clicked the Submit button. I know that the "value" of a submit input is usually just used to label the button in some way (such as value="Click Here for Free Porn!"), but you can actually test for this value if you have given the Submit input a name. I may be wrong about this, though. Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H. Brown pricee@hhbrown.com
