Why does returning false in the keydown callback does not stop the button click event?

Question

I have a button and the following javascript routine.

$(\"button\").keydown( function(key) {
  switch(key.keyCode) {
  case 32: //space
    return false;
  }         


        

Answer 1

You can just use one attribute in form to stop submit on enter.

as like: onkeydown="return false;" in form attribute
