Going with your assumption of XHTML transitional, there is still one error. Can't spot it? Error: There is no attribute "onClick". Eric Bednarz apparently changed the OP's quote and removed that Error. Why, I do not know. -- Garrett comp.lang.javascript FAQ: http://jibbering.com/faq/

Then how do they expect keyboard-only users to submit the form? The customer is always right, but they pay consultants to tell them when they are wrong. > If I use input type="submit", the > form always gets posted with a return keypress. As it should.

Maybe the connection is slow and the focus is stuck in the suggestion list. Why use Google suggest feature? In Opera, I have modified Google search with this URL. http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&complete=0 -- Bwig Zomberi

If I use input type="submit", the > form always gets posted with a return keypress. Use an event listener on the text fields that returns false on keyCode===13. That should avoid submitting the form while allowing enter to be pressed on any other input (including the buttons). > > -- > Neil Aggarwal, (281)846-8957 > FREE trial: cPanel VPS with unmetered bandwidthhttp://UnmeteredVPS.net/cpanel |
