Hello Chris (Great site, Appreciate all the work you put in)

I am working on a site and the site has a form. The submit on the form is styled with text and css, so I have to use javascript to make it functional.

But when I do that, my styling is there for the submit button, but it no longer behaves like a normal "Submit" button. I can't just type in my user name and password and hit enter, you have to use the mouse and click the submit button.

Any ideas how I can use the "Enter" key on the keyboard to "Submit" after I fill out the form.

first the code for the javascript in the head:


<script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text/javascript\">
<!--
function getsupport ( selectedtype )
{
  document.supportform.supporttype.value = selectedtype ;
  document.supportform.submit() ;
}
-->
</script>

Second, here is the html code for form:


<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"supporttype\" />
<a href=\"javascript:getsupport('Paid')\">Paid Support</a>

Hey,

The Enter function comes default with all browsers I have tried. But you need to have a <form> and an <input type="submit">

You can read up on forms here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp

(I'm assuming you aren't familiar with forms since there was no form tags attached. If this is wrong, let us know.)

gl,
