Question

I use Jorn Zaefferer’s Autocomplete jQuery plugin which works great except for one thing – if a user is using his keyboard to scroll through the autocomplete options list and then presses Enter on the one he wants, it submits the containing form.

Im sure a cleverly placed return false; would sort this out – does anyone have any ideas?

PROBLEM SOLVED

My solution was to put an event handler on the text boxes that were autocomplete to prevent the Enter keypress being passed downward, like this:

    $('input[type=text].autocomplete').keydown(function(event){
        if ((event.charCode ? event.charCode : event.keyCode) == 13)
            event.preventDefault();
    });
