    <p>I have a form built in ASP.NET. The first control allows the user to choose a person from an auto-complete list. When the user pressed enter it would refresh the page and duplicate any information acquired through this first control. I am trying to remove the capability of the enter key from refreshing the page. This code all works in Chrome and IE7/8/9 (Don't care about 6). All I NEED is the return false for it to work in all browsers we support besides Firefox. The .click() is a bonus to add a bit of usability back to the key (so that it will activate the controls and check or uncheck check boxes, etc.)</p> <p>None of this works in Firefox 12. The click occurs (proof that the code is reached when I want it) but the page refreshes every single time. </p> <p>The focusNextInputfield() was one of the suggestions from a similar question and didn't do anything I wanted. It may have done what it was intended for but I can't tell because the page refreshed. </p> <p>I found preventDefault() and stopPropagation() from yet another similar question on my own and it did nothing in FF. </p> <p>I have even tried returning true for the heck of it. </p> <pre><code> $(document).keydown(function (event) { //handles what happens when the user hits enter if (document.activeElement.nodeName !== 'TEXTAREA') { if (event.keyCode === 13 || event.which === 13) { $(document.activeElement).click(); // $(document.activeElement).focusNextInputField(); event.preventDefault(); event.stopPropagation(); return false; } } }); </code></pre> <p>I am just looking for any suggestions or news on any reason none of this has any effect in FireFox 12? And I know that the code is reached and it all runs properly without error and even with all the excess code it still runs properly in Chrome and IE 7/8/9 as I said.</p> <p>And through an earlier iteration I tried forcing the submit button to be clicked but it still refreshed anyway and validated and was overall a bad user experience. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
