Block autosubmit of form when pressing enter inside a text field

March 11th, 2012

This little javascript can be used to block the sometimes unwanted autosubmit behaviour of a form when the user presses enter while the textfield is active. (JQuery required)

Usage: <input type=”text” class=”blockautosubmit” id=”email” />

$('input.blockautosubmit').keypress(function(e) {
    if (e.keyCode == 44 || e.which == 44 || e.keyCode == 13 || e.which == 13) {
        return false;
    }
});
