I have an HTML form with a single submit input, but also various button elements. When the user presses the 'enter' key, I'd expect it to actually submit the form, but instead (within Chrome 15 at least) I'm finding that it's triggering the first button (since that occurs earlier in the HTML than the submit input, I guess).
I know that in general you can't force browsers to favour a particular submit input, but I really thought they would favour submit inputs over button elements. Is there a small tweak I can make to the HTML to make this work, or am I going to have to embrace some kind of Javascript approach?
Here's a rough mockup of the HTML:
<form action="form.php" method="POST"> <input type="text" name="field1"/> <button onclick="return myFunc1()">Button 1</button> <input type="submit" name="go" value="Submit"/> </form>

HTML form submit on Enter Key | Example code You don't need to use JavaScript to do submit button or input on entering key pressed. Just need to mark it up with type="submit" , and the other buttons mark them with type="button" .
To submit the form using 'Enter' button, we will use jQuery keypress() method and to check the 'Enter' button is pressed or not, we will use 'Enter' button key code value. Explanation: We use the jQuery event. which to check the keycode on the keypress.
Enter = SubmitIf you have focus in the textbox and hit enter, the form will be submitted automatically. This behavior is consistent across all browsers and is known as implicit submission.
You don't need JavaScript to choose your default submit button or input. You just need to mark it up with type="submit", and the other buttons mark them with type="button". In your example:
<button type="button" onclick="return myFunc1()">Button 1</button> <input type="submit" name="go" value="Submit"/> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
