Prevent default behaviour of form.

[VitorFF]

Hello guys!

I have a form that was built using the buildQuickForm hook and it contains a button that is coded like this:

Code: [Select]

          $this->addButtons(array(
                                  array ( 'type'      => 'next',
                                          'name'      => ts('Save'),
                                          'spacing'   => '         ',
                                          'isDefault' => TRUE   ),
                                  )
                           );
On the same page as the form I have a small text field and an anchor posing as a button.
When the user hits the enter key the action triggered is the anchor click but I'm not being able to prevent the form submit.

I've already tried to change the 'isDefault' property to FALSE but a page reload still occurs.
Also in jquery I've tried using 'return false;' and 'event.preventDefault(); but the form submission still triggers (or the page reload if the isDefault flag is false).

Does any one have a suggestion on how to prevent the default behaviour of a form built using the buildQuickForm hook?

Thank you!

When the user hits enter, the browser's default behavior is to submit the form, not click on an anchor.
If you want to prevent this you need to intercept the $form.submit() event and preventDefault on it.
