We use a form at our business that folks fill out to provide us with critical information. The info is sent via email to us but we are finding that people are hitting the "Enter" key thinking it will move them to the next field in the form. This of course actually submits the form instead. Is there someway to "de-select" the submit button so it forces them to have to click it in order to send us the form?

Thanks!

well that's the default behaviour of a submit button, and I don't know any way to turn it off. You could instead use a regular button and some javascript to do the form submission
<button type="button" onclick="document.formname.submit();">Submit</button>

but then you have to consider that if any users have JS turned off, or they don't have a JS-enabled browser, then they won't be able to submit the info to you at all.

Can't you just handle the premature submissions by server-side validation?

Well I think I found a solution. I just used the following code with each text box:

onKeyDown="if(event.keyCode==13) event.keyCode=9;"

Seems to be doing the trick...
