I'm, using a form form a password with a button to submit it.
The problem is that i want a user be able to continue by clicking the Enter button on his keyboard, and my code is not doing it.
Here's the code:
<form name="form1">"enter password:"
<input type="password" name="pass">
<input type="button" value="continue" onclick="checkpassword()">
</form>

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

<form name="form1" onsubmit="checkpassword()">"enter password:"
<input type="password" name="pass">
<input type="submit" value="continue">
</form>
I wouldn't really rely on javascript to check a password since it really isn't secure. I recommend a server side language like php or asp.

I made the changes you suggested, but its not working.
I need to be able continue with a click on the button and with an Enter key on keyboard.
Your code not doing either.

Try onsubmit="return checkpassword()"
Of course I don't know what checkpassword is doing so it may be your function that isn't working.
function checkpassword(){
var password="password";
if(document.forms['form1'].pass.value==password){
alert('Password is valid');
}
else {
alert('Password is invalid');
return false;
}
}
