How do you prevent carriage returns in form fields?

[Guest]

Can someone please tell me, how I can prevent users from putting carriage
returns in a form field. Even with the form field properties set maximum
length, you can still hit enter and it slides everything down.

Thanks

Set the form field in a borderless table cell of fixed dimensions.

You can code the Enter key to act like a tab (going to the next field); see

http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=211219. But most form makers just put the
fields in table cells with the row height set to an Exact amount.
