Question
In Non-IE browser, Flow Action is submitted when pressing the Enter Key
Upon hitting the enter key on a text input field, the flow action is getting submitted in Non-IE browser. Using 6.3 SP1
The below code works fine in IE but not in Chrome/FF.
function disableEnterKey(e)
{
var key;
if(window.event)
key = window.event.keyCode;
if(key == 13)
return false;
else
return true;
}
document.onkeydown = disableEnterKey;
The above code works in Chrome but not in Firefox. I used the below code as per the article but it didnt help. Error is 'key' is undefined. Thoughts?
function GetKeyCode(evt)
{
var key;
key = evt.key;
if(keyCode == 13)
return false;
else
return true;
}
document.onkeypress = GetKeyCode(event);
There are some errors in your code. Modified the code below:-
function GetKeyCode(evt)
{
var key;
key = evt.keyCode;
if(key == 13)
return false;
else
return true;
}
document.onkeypress = GetKeyCode(event);
Try the above code once.
Thanks,

Tried the above code. In the web console of the browser, I am seeing JS error: - ReferenceError: event is not defined
Any idea where/how to define the event that is being passed in the function?

Hello ,
I have replicated the issue locally and tried the below code which works fine in every browser:-
<script>
function disableEnterKey(e){
e = e || window.event || {}; var charCode = e.charCode || e.keyCode || e.which;
if(charCode == 13){
return false;
}
return true;
}
document.onkeydown = disableEnterKey;
</script>
Please try the above code and let us know the update.
Thanks,

Hello ,
I think you have missed some flower braces in the code.Kindly try the below suggested code at your end:-
Code:-
<script>
function disableEnterKey(e){
var key;
if(window.event){
key = window.event.keyCode;
}
if(key == 13){
return false;
}
return true;
}
document.onkeydown = disableEnterKey;
</script>
Copy and paste the above code in your userworkform.
