Deactivate Enter key for submit button

In a form, is there a way to avoid that the Enter key activates the submit button? Sometimes customers forget to use the Tab key to go through the fields and press Enter instead and that sends off the form. Can this be customized or deactivated? Thank you.

How many times I have I been filling in a long form on a site and hit the return key instead of the tab!!! Know how your customers feel, but as far as I am aware there isn't... but I will be interested if someone knows of a way?

Make fields required so if they hit enter they get the error page if its not filled in. This way they go back to the form.

Hm... There are LOTS of Javascripts that will disable the Enter key as submit. Some will make the Ener key behave as Tab, others will simply deactivate it. Even Dynamic Drive has one of these scripts.

Of course, if the visitor has his Javascript disabled, it will not work.
