And yes I accidentally hit submit before removing the signature so don't even think about it.

Trying to reinvent the way an HTML form works is surely going to annoy users who prefer hitting "enter" upon completing a form. For example the user might not want to tab through to the submit button and might really hate using the trackpad. Put the default button first and the form will submit that one when user hits the return key (which is also called the "enter" key on many keyboards). -- Garrett comp.lang.javascript FAQ: http://jibbering.com/faq/

I was puzzled by this. Then I read your other message and realized what you meant. -- Garrett comp.lang.javascript FAQ: http://jibbering.com/faq/

Keyboard-only users will usually use tab to navigate to the submit button and then press the space key. -- Bwig Zomberi

They have to be contained in something else, a fieldset preferably, but a div will do. |
