I am having problems with the Forms on my site that have previously worked
correctly.

When entering data in fields if the user hits "enter" at any field the Form
will immediately be submitted. Previously if you hit "enter" it would tab to
the next field and would only submit if you hit the "submit" button.

Do I have this right? My hosting service says nothing has changed and it
ALWAYS submitted if "enter" is hit.

I have customers that are sending mutliple partial forms because they hit
"enter" before completeing.
 
Add a required field at the bottom of the form.

Thomas - are you saying to do this as a work-around? I never had to do this
before?

Explain it to me - does hitting "enter" in any field suppose to submit the
form?

Best Regards,
 
Yes. It sure will.

how do you enter a 'required field' because I have a similar problem

You add a field, then add FP Field Validation, making the field required.

Yes, the is default for all HTML forms, unless coded with JavaScript to ignore the enter key, or you
add JavaScript field validation.

Actually, forms in Notepad, or any other editor, will do the same thing.
Except in crappy NS circa V4. This is the default behavior.

I highly doubt it. Unless there was some scripting to cause this behavior.

Well kick me hard and call me Susan! That's what happens when a neophyte
tries to run a web page!

Thank you all for the help. Apparently I am losing my mind but that's OK
'cause I'm happy.

A mandatory field at the end of the form is what I'll do.

Best Regards,
Paul
