Form and enter key

I have created an HTML form that contains an input type text field coded
as:-
onBlur="sendRequest('.$ClientData.",".$Event.',this.value)">

This calls an Ajax script that populates the rest of the HTML form.

This fields event is currently activated, in Firefox, via the TAB but
the user has requested that the activation be altered to Enter.

The problem I have is that Enter is the default action for the form and
I cannot think of a way to achieve what the user requires.

Suggestions please.

This means that not only do I want to "Prevent Enter From Submitting
Form" but also cause enter to call Ajax.
In Ajax I can then
if (windows.event.keyCode != 13) return; or similar.

In your opening form tag

RE: Form and enter key

Hi!

Maybe

onEnter=3D"Javascript.,,,,"

Or maybe

onSubmit=3D"Javascript...."

?

Thank you Dale.
What I have done so far is alter the HTML FORM line to:-
onSubmit='return false;'>
which appears to have stopped the form submitting on Enter and I have
added:-
if (window.event.keyCode != 13)
{
window.event.keyCode = 0;
return;
}
to my sendRequest() in my Ajax. This, however, appears to do nothing for me.

i have some problem too and related to this topic..
user type a form and then he/she enter the form that he/she will enter the
doctor name (there were 200 doctor). to small the code i use ajax, user can
click on button next to the text form. which is open new window

the main problem was i want to use shortcut. if the text form active, user
can click F6 to open new window which is same as click on the button.

i currios about this..
when i click F2, then new window will show up.

suggestion for TS, how about not using submit but using onclick=refreshAllData()>\
user can't click on submit but must click on the link to enter the data.
