Yes, I am back with more Internet Explorer 7 nonsense. I have re-written my flute hole calculator to use a form instead of a Prompt because IE7 has removed all support for Prompts.

After beating the thing out, polishing all the crud, and making sure the/my eye's were all dotted, I have spent 3 days trying to get the field to submit with an Enter or Return key press.

It submits with a keypress in NS, Opera, and FF, but again, not in IE7! I've been through all the stuff I can think of and am still stopped at every turn. In IE the page refreshes instead of writing up the rest of the page.

All mentioned browsers display the page properly with a mouseclick.

I have to say that in NS and FF the page does finish writing with a keypress, but then I can't use the cursor keys on my keyboard to scroll the page.

Example page and code in a textarea are at this URL:

TIA!
Cap'n!

Actually, IE7 is probably the one that's handling it correctly, and it is submitting the form. The key piece of information is in the URL once it's refreshed (you'll see whatever was in the input box in the querystring, because you're using a GET).

By default, "return (function name)" will return true, so what you probably need to do is specify "return false" as the last line of the function (right after document.close()).

Hey Adam!

Well, I've pretty much exhausted all the combinations I can think of. Placing the "return false;" after the document.close I end up with no output from the scripts. Placing "return true;" after any onSubmit, or onClick handlers get no response either.

I feel like I'm playing some adventure game where I go over and over the stuff in my inventory, back and forth on the scene only to get the walkthrough and find out I was supposed to give the thumbtack to the monkey.

I see what you're saying about the IE7 location/address bar, it puts the input at the end of the URL thus:

I also notice Firefox and Netscape display a strange window in the upper right corner with the input value which just sits there with no response from any click or keypress.
