Is there a way to prevent Enter from submitting the learner's input? People often hit enter as a line break. We would like the Submit button to be the only way to submit. Thanks!
I learned that we do not want to prevent the Enter button from submitting the form (although it is possible with Javascript). Allowing the Enter key to submit is called “implicit submission”, which is the current de facto behavior in browsers. Deviating from this would become an accessibility issue.
We decided to add a message onscreen to alert learners that both Enter and Submit will submit the form.
