Submit button

I just tested my long form on my website and found that if I mistakenly hit the "enter" button the form gets submitted, even though I was not through with it. Any way to disable this and make the form where you have to click on it with a mouse?

What you need to do is make the fields required then. This will prevent the form from being submitted until all fields are filled out.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.... kind of hard to do. Maybe on the next beta, if someone hits the enter button, maybe do a quick pop up and asking them if they want to submit the form or cancel.

You only have to set 1 field to required... Not all of them.

Ok. But what if I make a required field the first or second on the form. And I have 30 different input boxes?
Once they get past the required fields then thinking the "enter button" comes back into play?

Yeaaaaaa... thought about that as a work around. But as I enjoy and very much appreciate the fact this is an active forum, thought I would ask the question anyway in hopes you guys can make a note of it and think "we need to change that!".

If you would like to make a suggestion for an addition to the program you can do so here.

The Devs look at these when making updates to the programs and may take your idea into consideration. But just so you know, taking the enter out is not a viable option for most people... I hate when I have to move my mouse down to click a submit button. That is why there is an enter. So you can Enter your submission.
