How can I prevent HTML form submission when using the Enter key in a specific input field?
I'm optimizing some code but I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock. I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm currently working on a form that has multiple input fields, and I need to prevent the default form submission when the user presses the Enter key in a particular input field (let's say it's an email input). I want the other fields to behave normally, but for this specific email input, I want to handle the Enter key press in a custom manner without the form submitting prematurely. I've tried adding an event listener for the 'keypress' event on the email input like this: ```javascript const emailInput = document.getElementById('email'); emailInput.addEventListener('keypress', function(event) { if (event.key === 'Enter') { event.preventDefault(); // Prevent form submission // Custom handling code here console.log('Enter pressed in email field.'); } }); ``` However, this doesn't seem to work as expected. When I press Enter, the page still refreshes, and the form appears to submit. I'm using HTML5 and testing in the latest version of Chrome. To further troubleshoot, I also tried wrapping the input field in a `form` element like this: ```html <form id="myForm"> <input type="text" id="name" placeholder="Name" required /> <input type="email" id="email" placeholder="Email" required /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> ``` But even with the above code, the form submits when I hit Enter in the email input. Any suggestions on how to prevent this specific behavior without affecting the other input fields? Are there any additional attributes or techniques I might be overlooking? Thank you! My development environment is Windows. My development environment is macOS. Am I missing something obvious? I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 using the latest version of Javascript. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've been using Javascript for about a year now. Has anyone dealt with something similar?
