Tab and Enter keys was created by WizzardOne
Hello, I have just launched a survey, and had a user report that if they hit the tab or enter key after filling in a question on the form, they are closed out and the survey acts like it was the submit key.
Have I missed a setting?

Depending on the number and type of inputs, it is normal behaviour for browsers to submit a form when the Enter key is pressed.

While recognizing that this is standard browser behavior, have any of you explored ways of over-riding it in any of your instances of limesurvey?

Any recommendations besides the following?

There is a strange difference between the behaviour on a iPad and, for instance, in Chrome on Windows. On a iPad the Go button (or the Enter key if you have a BT keyboard) triggers the previous submit button. On Chrome the Enter key does a Next submit.

'Next' is preferable. How do I change that for the iPad?

I'm not sure what keyCode the "go" button returns for iPhone but from what i have read its also 13. The below script should prevent most instances of enter submitting the form. Textarea wont be affected by this.
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('input').on('keydown keypress', function(e) {       
        if(e.keyCode === 13) {
            return false;
        }      
    });
});

To trigger the next button, try this.
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('input').on('keydown keypress', function(e) {       
        if(e.keyCode === 13) {
            e.preventDefault();
      $('#movenextbtn').click();
        }      
    });
});

Complete test of key:
git.framasoft.org/Shnoulle/SkeletonQuest...ster/template.js#L74

Here, i focus on enter or sumbmit, can be updated to "click".

I think default behaviour must be save but not go next ?

I´m using LS Version 2.50+ Build 160718
and I´ve just notice that the if I press "enter" in the keyboard this will do the same as pressinf button "Next"
and what is worse, the same as "Submit" buttom at the end of my survey.
How do I disable this?
I want only "Next" and "Submit" buttom to do this.
Thak you

The script above that has return false should work for you.
