This logic is firing when pressing Enter in the Amount input, and I don’t

  • 0

This logic is firing when pressing “Enter” in the “Amount” input, and I don’t believe it should (it doesn’t in Chrome). How can I prevent this, and if not prevent it in IE, handle it so that the logic in the click event does not fire.

<html>
 <body>
   <div id="page">
     <div id="financed_amount">
      <h1>Financed Amount:</h1>
      <input type="text" id="amount" value="" />
     </div>
     <h1>Finance Options</h1>
     <div>
      <a id="shareLink" rel="leanModal" name="email" href="#email"></a>
      <button id="btnShare" class="share">Share this report</button>
     </div>
    </div>
   </body>
</html>

Script

$("#btnShare").click(function (e) {
    // This logic is firing when pressing "Enter" in the "Amount" input
});

    I had the same problem and solved it by adding type="button" attribute to the <button> element, by which IE thinks the button as a simple button instead of a submit button (which is default behavior of a <button> element).
