javascript/jsp question

[Munashiimaru]

So I have a page that has tabs, and I want to disable enter on one of the subpages. I have a javascript function that'll do it, but it doesn't get seen if I put it in the subpage. I needed to move it to the main page to get it to work, but I specifically don't want it disabling one of the other subpages. I assume there's some way to distinguish which page I'm on, but I suck with javascript and don't know where to begin.

In main JSP (search.jsp):
[COLOR=black]<script>[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]  document.onkeypress = stopRkey[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]</script>[/COLOR]
 
[COLOR=black]in JS File:[/COLOR]
 
[COLOR=black]function stopRkey(evt) {[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]  var evt = (evt) ? evt : ((evt.srcElement) ? evt.srcElement : null);[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]  var node = (evt.target) ? evt.target : ((evt.srcElement) ? evt.srcElement : null);[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]  if (( evt.keyCode == 13) && (node.type == "text")){[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]      return false;[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]  }[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]}[/COLOR]

searchform.jspf and editserver.jsp are the two subpages if that helps. Any help appreciated ^.^

How are the tabs loaded? AJAX? Or at least JavaScript? Perhaps you should put the return stopping code in the page selection code. You'll probably need return-allowing code as well in that case, in case the user goes back and forth between the two tabs you mentioned.

A wizard did that partcular part of the code so I'm not sure : ( but it's a good place to look. I was hoping there was a variable or something stuck in the event I could check in the mainpage/function.

The inital loading of the tabs is done with javascript. I don't know where switching between tabs manually is handled probably something similar

The final version does a check on enter key press to see if the div the tab pages mess with is set to a display style.

if (document.getElementById("detailsArea").style.display == "block") { (code I wrote in previous post) }

Took a while to figure out what exactly the tab code was doing to the page. It's using the dynamic drive javascript library.
