<FORM> Premature Submission

[JW]

I've got a site built with FP2000 that includes a lengthy form. Form
handling is processed by a FormMail scripting, rather than FP properties.
I'm getting an awfully lot of premature submissions, because visitors are
trying to use the <Enter> key rather than the <Tab> key to move between
fields. Is there any way to block action from the <Enter> key on this web
page? Good idea/bad idea? Thanks, JW

No. But, you could use validation to require the fields be filled out.

Using form field validation, you could make the last field a 'required'
field so the form won't submit until it is filled in. Also reiterate the
requirement to use the Tab key, not the Enter key to move between fields.
