posting a textarea with a keyboard enter

md0004 · March 12th, 2004, 02:06 PM

Is there any way to 'save' a textarea by hitting enter on the keyboard (rather than just putting in a line break)?

Thanks

What do you mean by 'save'.

I mean submit a form that is just a textarea hitting enter on the keyboard instead of clicking a submit button.

Thanks

Try this link

If the event.keyCode equals 13 then call the submit method on the form.

Code:

<form id=form1 action="handler.php" method=post><textarea onkeypress="if(event.keyCode==13)document.forms.form1.submit();"></textarea></form>

HTH,
