Form Submits Just By Hitting Return Key

    I assumed the form entry would only get submitted if you hit the SUBMIT button,
    however if a user hits their return or enter keyboard key the form is submitted.

    Here’s why that is a problem:

    I have a form that only makes the submit button visible upon my conditions being met.

    The result is people being able to skirt by my conditions and submit anyway.

    Is this a known issue?

    Hey there Blair, Jorge here following up.

    Our developers are taking a look at this as because at the moment that’s the behavior of the form.

    As a workaround, you can use the following code to disable submit on enter:

    jQuery( document ).ready( function ( $ ) {
    $( 'form' ).keypress(
  		function(event){
        	if ( event.which == '13' ) {
          		event.preventDefault();
        	}
    	}
	);
} );

    Hope this helps, let us know if you have any further questions.

    Have a great weekend!

    Jorge
