I checked all the above solutions, they don't work. The only possible solution is to catch 'onkeydown' event for each input of the form. You need to attach disableAllInputs to onload of the page or via jquery ready()

/*
 * Prevents default behavior of pushing enter button. This method doesn't work,
 * if bind it to the 'onkeydown' of the document|form, or to the 'onkeypress' of
 * the input. So method should be attached directly to the input 'onkeydown'
 */
function preventEnterKey(e) {
    // W3C (Chrome|FF) || IE
    e = e || window.event;
    var keycode = e.which || e.keyCode;
    if (keycode == 13) { // Key code of enter button
        // Cancel default action
        if (e.preventDefault) { // W3C
            e.preventDefault();
        } else { // IE
            e.returnValue = false;
        }
        // Cancel visible action
        if (e.stopPropagation) { // W3C
            e.stopPropagation();
        } else { // IE
            e.cancelBubble = true;
        }
        // We don't need anything else
        return false;
    }
}
/* Disable enter key for all inputs of the document */
function disableAllInputs() {
    try {
        var els = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
        if (els) {
            for ( var i = 0; i < els.length; i++) {
                els[i].onkeydown = preventEnterKey;
            }
        }
    } catch (e) {
    }
}
