Liveman Posted September 7, 2000 Posted September 7, 2000 I've maid a search form with only one field. The forms works fine if the user enter a word and then presses the submit button. But if they hit the return key they get an error (no records found). Do I have to control the form with a Javascript or can change something in my form to make it work even if they press return? I've searched FileMakers Tech Info, but didn't find any answer. /Liveman

To ensure that a form is correctly submitted when a visitor presses Enter or Return, add a hidden input type to your form, attaching the same name to it as your Submit button. For example, the HTML for your submit button in a search page might look something like this: <INPUT TYPE =
