CGI Enter Key question

SteveS832001 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I Created a CGI Application that asks for a Phone Number and then searches a database to see if exists.
I would like it where they could click on the Search Button or just type in the number and press the
"enter" key. Is there a way to do this or not.

That is the default behavior for a form. The following is the source code for the PerlMonks Search. If you enter some text on the input field and then press the enter key, the form is submited. `<form method="get" action="?" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" >   <input type="text" name="node" id="search_text" size="20" maxlength="300" /> <input class="titlebar" type="submit" value="Search" /> </form>` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
