Travis:
See my last message to Shane in regards to the enter key defaulting to the
submit button.
Java script would indeed be the work around but the policy here is no Java
script.

Hi,
Using JAWS, when you exit forms mode by pressing Enter, JAWS is actually
passing the Enter key through to the form. And it exits forms mode because a
new page loads, etc.
In this instance, all of the edit fields must be single line edits
(type=text) and by default pressing Enter when focus is on one of these will
trigger the default submit button of the form. Same way you can press Enter to
start a search on Google without tabbing to the Search button.
If in fact you do not want the user to be able to submit the form by doing
this, but instead only want this to occur when they are focused on the
Calculate button, you can override the behavior with some JavaScript.
Possibly by blocking the KeyPress of enter on each edit field, or similar trick.

James, it's James....
...but why would the exiting of Form Mode evoke the calculation button?

Hi,
This is the default HTML behavior. It's not a JAWS problem.

Hello:
Ok, another day, another issue. My JSP page has a number of edit fields, a
calculate button and a submit button. So I enter data by first hitting enter on
an edit field that sets my cursor to Forms Mode and I enter the value.
Pressing the TAB key takes me to the next field and so on. Upon filling all of
the required fields I press enter on the calculate button and my validation
routine is performed. In this example I have mistakenly entered a alpha value
into a numeric field and an error message informs me of such.
So, I need to change my value, I first select the edit field, press enter to
allow me to edit the field I.E. Forms Mode is again evoked.... I enter the new
value.... At this point I can either tab to the calculate button or hit enter
to take me out of the Forms Mode and scroll the page to locate the calc
button.... However, hitting enter after entering the value somehow evokes my
validation routine!
This is not the expected behaviour because there might be more then one value
to be changed. So, what's actually going on here?
