If you have
an HTML form on your web page, many times your visitors may hit the 'Enter'
key on their keyboard, instead of the 'Tab' key, thinking it will advance
them to the next form field. However, the 'Enter' key will actually submit
the form. This will cause you to receive incomplete form submissions.
To avoid this problem, you can use a piece of JavaScript within your HTML
code that will disable the 'Enter' button within your forms until it is
completely filled out.

The above form
is real and will subscribe you to our highly popular, free weekly ezine -
eTips. However, this form is also an example of how you can disable the 'Enter'
key on your visitor's keyboard until your form is
submitted.
Place the following
JavaScript code within your web page HTML between your HEAD tags:
<script
language=javascript type=text/javascript>
<!-- Script courtesy of http://www.web-source.net - Your Guide to Professional
Web Site Design and Development
function stopRKey(evt) {
var evt = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null);
var node = (evt.target) ? evt.target : ((evt.srcElement) ?
evt.srcElement : null);
if ((evt.keyCode == 13) && (node.type=="text")) {return
false;}
}
document.onkeypress = stopRKey;
-->
