BTW...

How would you use a submit button in this example instead of a button?

Thanks

You could leave the action blank, and use the OnSubmit function of the form. That would capture the Enter if it was IE anyway.

<form name="frm" onSubmit="f_PasswordCheck('http://www.yahoo.com')">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Password Check">
</form>

Then have PasswordCheck return false; and it will not actually submit the form.
