I presume the question is
 "how do i prevent the 'enter' key from submiting a form ?"

The way I use :
8<------------------------------------------------------------------------
<form onSubmit="return false">
  ...
  <input type="button" value="My special submit button" 
onClick="this.form.submit()">
</form>
8<------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) The 'return' key will be catch by 'onSubmit' and will not submit the
form (return false).
2) The button will call form.submit() bypassing the onSubmit.
