RETURN shall not submit a form

[Christoph Weber]

Hello,
I have the problem that I want to submit a form only if the submit button is
clicked with the mouse.
The form should not be submitted if the user hits the RETURN key.

Any suggenstions?

Thanks
Christoph

Don't forget to transform gracefully [1]:

add
<noscript><inpu t type="submit"/></noscript>
to your HTML.

Click the submit button with your mouse and don't hit the RETURN key.

You could give the submit button a name and check in your form if the
variable $_POST[buttonname] (resp. $_[GET]....) is empty respectively set.
e.g.:
<form name="somewhat" action="my_php_ form.php" method="post">
[...]
<input type="submit" name="buttonnam e" value="click me">
</form>


in your evaluation form you may try using:

if (empty($_POST[buttonname]))
{
echo "please click button for submit";
exit;
}
