Hi, 
 
Your form submits with an Enter press in Firefox 3, Internet Explorer 6 and 7. As the page seems to submit to itself and not react to the POST parameters in any way, it just appears to &quot;reload&quot; when it actually gets re-requested with the POST parameter.
</div>

<div>
Actually, it wasn't said anywhere that your posted script was called search.php, sorry for the assumption. 
 
Here's an example of your script that I tested with: 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-219004">&lt;html&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Customer Search&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;body background=&quot;../background.png&quot; onLoad=dofo() alink=&quot;blue&quot; vlink=&quot;blue&quot;&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
 
function dofo() {
 document.fo.keyword.focus();
}
 
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
 
&lt;?php 
// Output POST variables for testing
print_r($_POST); 
?&gt; 
?&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://intranet/search&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;../logo.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
 
 
&lt;tr&gt;
 &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;history.go(-1)&quot;&gt;Back&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://intranet&quot; alt=&quot;Intranet Home&quot;&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;list_all.php&quot;&gt;Show All&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;form name=&quot;fo&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;search.php&quot;&gt;
 &lt;table&gt;
 &lt;strong&gt;Enter Customer Information&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
 &lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;keyword&quot; size=&quot;20&quot; maxlength=&quot;100&quot;&gt;
 &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Search&quot; /&gt;
 &lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>
</div>

<div>
The script itself works as long as you click the submit button and not press enter. So I know the script works. 
</div>

<div>
Enter has the effect of the current &quot;button&quot; in focus. &nbsp;So, make sure that you are focussed on the button that is the same as the submit that you want rather than some other input on the form
</div>

<div>
Hi, 
 
That's good, just wanted to know you're sure about that. However, I can't find any browser that wouldn't submit the form when enter is pressed in the text field. 
 
Browsers tested (auto-focus works/submit-on-enter works): 
&nbsp;- Firefox 3.0.5 (OK/OK) 
&nbsp;- Internet Explorer 5.5 (OK/OK) 
&nbsp;- Internet Explorer 6.0 (OK/OK) 
&nbsp;- Internet Explorer 7.0 (OK/OK) 
&nbsp;- Opera 9.26 (OK/OK) 
&nbsp;- Chrome 1.0 (OK/OK)
</div>

<div>
A couple of points of interest in your page: 
 
- the &lt;head&gt; tag is misplaced, the correct structure would be &lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;. This shouldn't confuse browsers made in this millennium, though. 
 
- if the dofo() function is called on body's onLoad, there's a chance that the keyword element hasn't been loaded yet. This can actually prevent the function from working if the page's loaded very fast. More advisable is to place the function call at the end of the page, like &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;dofo();&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;
</div>

<div>
ansx: agreed, I don't think I was thinking when I wrote that. Changed the code regardless. 
 
Still not able to hit enter. So if I tab over to SEARCH than I can press enter and it works fine. But if I press enter while still focused in the text box itself it just reloads the page.
</div>

<div>
as I said - just force the focus to the button 
 
I believe that it is actually defined that the Enter is like clicking in the currently focussed field. &nbsp;So, just focus on it
</div>

<div>
Please try to make the page standards compliant (at least if you expect standarsd compliant behaviour). 
The misplaced &lt;head&gt; has already been mentioned. 
To add a few: 
- DOCTYPE missing 
- &lt;table&gt; contains non-table data 
- &lt;tr&gt; is outside &lt;table&gt; 
 
You can check compliance e.g. with <a href="http://validator.w3.org/" rel="ugc">http://validator.w3.org/</a>
</div>

<div>
jhurst: Ok, I missed that when you first posted, but if I do that than they will not be able to just type into the box when the page loads? Which would defeat the whole purpose of this.
</div>

<div>
thehagman: this is PHP, your validator would not accept the file.

</div>

<div>
would you by chance have a sample of how to do this?
</div>

<div>
Would it be possible that there's something in your browser that captures the enter key, preventing the browser to work as intended? Some toolbar or plugin maybe? Try uninstalling these?
</div>

<div>
That you are dealing with php does not exempt you from the need to produce vaild html. 
I tested the attached modification of your latest code. It is compliant and hitting ENTER submits (with Firefox 3.05 and IE 7). Does this work for you, too?

<div>
It works in FF, but we don't use FF at the terminals. I thought maybe it was my browser so I tested at two other workstations, same effect. Also tried to load mine without add-ons, same thing. Page just refreshes.
</div>

<div>
I just was able to dig up an old pc still having IE6 and can now confirm: 
The code I posted ni #23296552 above works also with IE6 (I had tested IE7 and FF3 before), i.e. 
Typing a few letters and hitting ENTER causes the form to be submitted to search.php (which does not exist here). 
Are you sure you don't have smoe unusual extra software installed?
</div>

<div>
Nothing special on the pc ... just my work pc. Everything else is standard. Nothing special with the browser either. Keeping in mind that this is happening on multiple PC's and not just my own. Do you want me to post the complete code with a very stripped DB?

Hi, 
 
If we really can't figure out a reason to make a browser work like it should, here's the cheat (line 15 is only there to prove it works, remove for use):

					alert(&quot;Captured enter, submitting form&quot;);
					document.fo.submit();
				}
			}
		
			if (document.layers) document.captureEvents(Event.KEYPRESS);	
			document.onkeypress = onKeyPress; // note capitalisation

I see the comment that &quot;there may be something in the browser&quot;. &nbsp;No. &nbsp;The browser is working as it should. &nbsp;Enter in a text field is just that. 
 
You will need to capture the Enter key as aI said earlier
</div>

<div>
i get the alert that it was captured ... but the same thing is happening again. It look like this slowed it down enough to see that when this is happening it is going to the search but refreshing back to index.php almost immediately.
</div>

<div>
What are you referring to here. &nbsp;Are you saying that the enter is having some effect other than what we have been discussing here?
</div>

<div>
jhurst, 
 
Apparently pressing enter while focused on a text field triggers page refresh instead of submitting. 
 
Coppsbuildall, another thing that occurred to me was that maybe the HTTP server is doing something to cause this. What HTTP server are you using? Have you tested opening the HTML file directly in a browser?
</div>

<div>
absx: Wamp server. It is local on my computer.
</div>

<div>
What happens if you change the form action to a non-existing script? 
In fact that is what my tests were all based upon and I took a &quot;Not Found&quot; with url search.php as a proof of correct functionality. 
If you say that you see search.php for a short while and then it goes back - then search.php somehow distnguioshes between ENTER and a click on submit (however, I don't know how - the generated requests appear identical to me). 
 
BTW, what happen if you use a well-known search form like <a href="http://www.google.com" rel="ugc">www.google.com</a>, type a search term and hit enter? Search or refresh?
</div>

<div>
Google works like a charm. I am seeing that this is a bug in IE?
</div>

<div>
It can hardly be a bug in IE if it works at my place ... 
Did you try my test with a non-existing search.php? (You may simply copy / paste attached code to a new file testing.html ) 
Or could you post search.php? Maybe the error is there instead of what we are looking at all the time ...

Hi, 
 
To nutshell the situation a bit: 
 
1) Browser bugs have been ruled out. Several browsers, hosts and users have proven this to be out of option. Also, a browser bug like this would've been all over Google. 
 
2) The HTML is good-enough to work, JavaScript keylisteners have been tried, problems with these are also out. 
 
3) The HTTP server can still cause this. Try reinstalling the WAMP kit or at least testing without the Apache server, as in opening the HTML page directly in your browser (File-&gt;Open-&gt;...)
</div>

<div>
When I do it directly from the browser it goes to the search page ... as PHP code as it should.

If you change the action to a php script that merely consists of 
&lt;?php &nbsp;infophp(); ?&gt; 
do both $_POST[&quot;keyword&quot;] and $_POST[&quot;submit&quot;] appear in the &quot;PHP variables&quot; section?
</div>

<div>
if (!isset($_POST[&quot;keyword&quot;])) // This was the solution! :) 
 
Thanks for the assistance!

Hello, 
 
I have a form that I am submitting (see code attached), however when I press enter it just refreshes the page and doesn't actually submit the form. I find this very inconvenient as I myself always use the enter key. We use IE6 or IE7. 
 
Any advice on how to correct this behaviour? 
 
Thanks,

Submit Form Using Enter Or Clicking Submit

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
