SOLVED: use "thisEvent.preventDefault()"

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

I had a brainwave this morning: XPage client-side JS uses Dojo, so documentation on the Dojo website might relate to the global XSP object in XPages.

On the Dojo website, I found that Dojo events use a special event class, which contains a method called "preventDefault".

My onkeypress event now looks like this:

if (thisEvent.keyCode==13) {

thisEvent.preventDefault();

// And some other code for an alternative action...

}

Wonder of wonders, pressing Enter in that field no longer submits the form.
