Default Disabling emailing form results when the enter key is pressed


Hi Team:

Just created a Form with lots of fields. The Submit button correctly sends
the results to the specified.
Problem:
Unfortunately form results are emailed if, unintentionally/ by mistake, the
ENTER key is pressed. This is unexpected/ unneeded behavior. How do I disable
this behavior?

Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mohindar

Add validation (make the field required) to your critical form fields, or the last form field

Hope this will help you

This first one is a javascript which will intercept the inadvertant ENTERs
and turn them into TABs, which will take the end user to the next form
field.

This one will just disable the ENTER key for selected <inputs>

Thank you Team for your suggestions. For now resolved the issue by using
validation on last field. Will look into other solutions suggested by Mike.

I will now close this issue.

Again thanks.
