Textarea, form submit on return key

Hi,

Something is causing the form to be submitted whenever I hit the
return-key. Normally I wouldn't bother, but it also happens when I'm
typing in a textarea-control, which makes it impossible to fill in
multiple lines...

Where to look?

Thanks!Sjaakie schreef:

It might be helpfull to know that the textarea is a multiline
textbox-control.

Cheers
Sjaakie, i tried a small sample but I can't reproduce the behavior!, can you
post some code?

Jose,
I tried to cancel this posting, but apparently it was already replicated
to other servers.

It turned out it was just me being stupid. I was confident I had set the
property 'Multiline', but I didn't ... so it behaved as a regular textbox.

Thanks for your support anyway.

Cheers,

textbox and the tab key

What's the best way to prevent the tab key from shifting focus away from a
textbox, but rather insert the tab character? Do I just do it the obvious
way with JavaScript or is there some simple property to set?

I'd simply change the textbox to a "multiple line" textbox also known
as the textarea in HTML forms. You can have a textarea in same height
as a textbox so the design doesn't get crushed by it. The textarea
supports the tab character and you're done :)

Um... already have a multiple line textarea. Tab still alters focus. Is it
just an IE problem?

the <textarea> doesn't support tab entry (other than a paste). you can use
client script to do it though, through the onkeydown event. if the key is a
tab, insert the tab char into the current postion..
