Using FP 2002 - Recently the order form on my web site sends whenever
"enter" is pressed (going from line to line filling out the name, address,
etc.) and the confirmation page pops up., thanking them for the order. I
started receiving incomplete orders and a customer called me to complete her
order and told me what happened. I checked it out and she is correct.

It should only send the information to me when the "Submit" button at the
bottom of the form is clicked. It just recently started doing this. This
form is secure and is sent to me encrypted. Just giving all the information
I can think of to help resolve this problem.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.
Judith

I'm afraid it didn't just recently start doing this. Probably you just
started noticing it. The behavior of the ENTER key submitting a form is the
default behavior of most browsers. To disable it, you need some JavaScript,
such as:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
document.onkeypress = function checkKeyPress(e) {
if (!e)e = window.event;
var key = (typeof e.which == 'number')?e.which:e.keyCode;
if(key == 13) return (false); }
// --></script>

I have had this form online for over five years and I just recently started
receiving the incomplete orders information. I thought maybe something
changed when I upgraded from FP 98 to FP 2002 in August.

Thank you so much for your help, I'll keep your instructions and make a
change.
