The code for an internet search thing looks like this
Code: function search()
{
var searchArg;
searchArg = document.searchform.searchterm.value;
if(document.searchform.chooseEngine.value=="google")
window.location="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=" + searchArg + "&btnG=Google+Search";
The form looks like this
Code:
<form name="searchform">
<select NAME="chooseEngine">
<option VALUE="google" SELECTED> Google.com
</select>
<br><input type="text" name="searchterm"><br>
<input type="button" value = "Search" onClick="search()">
</form>
People have a bad habit of just hitting enter instead of the button. Is there any way to make the enter button run the search function? Right now, hitting enter just refreshes the page.
Wow... no one? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining that I didn't get an answer. I'm just surprised. I figured the amount of geekness in this forum would have the question answered before I finished asking
Try a google search next time, please (first result):

I googled it a lot. I only found stuff to submit on enter. I just want it to call a function on enter. I don't really know how submit forms work.
Code:
function entsub(searchform) {
if (window.event && window.event.keyCode == 13)
searchform.search();
else
return true;}
I don't know what the window.event thing does. Do you think the code above would work? (I can't test until I get to school tomorrow)
