enter enable [WAS: RE: enter disable]

[Andrew Hill <an...@gridnode.com>]

Funnily enough I have the opposite problem.
I have a form that now uses a button or sometimes a link instead of a
submitButton to submit the form as it needs to do some stuff in javascript
prior to submission (including playing silly buggers with the forms action
property!).
This works fine except that in dropping the submit in favour of a plain
button Ive lost the 'submit on enter' behaviour.
How might I get it back while still being able to do my js stuff when the
user submits the form - including via 'enter'.?

delete the submit button, put on a button which submits the form onClick.
This way you workaround the default (which is rather handy on the other
hand)

You should provide a submit button in this case, 
and onClick you do the stuff you'd like to, and if everything went well, 
return true. In this case the form will be submitted. 

I do usually 

<html:submit onclick="return confirm('are you sure?');">
<bean:message key="prompt.submit"/>
</html:submt>
