Javascript login form doesn't submit when user hits Enter

Question

I\'m working on a simple javascript login for a site, and have come up with this:

Login to view!         


        

Answer 1

My Thought = Massive security hole. Anyone can view the username and password.

More relevant to your question: - You have two events happening.

1. User clicks button.
2. User presses enter.

The enter key submits the form, but does not click the button.

By placing your code in the onsubmit method of the form the code will run when the form is submitted. By changing the input type of the button to submit, the button will submit the form in the same way that the enter button does.

Your code will then run for both events.
