How can I prevent a webform from submiting on 'Enter'

javascript

To prevent a web form from submitting when the user presses the ‘Enter’ key, you can use JavaScript to intercept the event and prevent its default action. Here’s an example:

<form onsubmit="return false;">
  <label for="input">Type something:</label>
  <input type="text" id="input" onkeydown="return event.key != 'Enter';">
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

In this example, we add an onsubmit attribute to the

element that returns false. This prevents the form from submitting when the submit button or the ‘Enter’ key is pressed.

We also add an onkeydown attribute to the element that intercepts the ‘Enter’ keydown event and returns false. This prevents the form from submitting when the user presses ‘Enter’ while the input field has focus.

Note that this approach still allows the user to submit the form by clicking the submit button, but prevents submission when the ‘Enter’ key is pressed. If you want to prevent submission entirely, you can remove the submit button or disable it using JavaScript.
