jQuery Prevent submit input to send form

If returned bSubmitp value is other than false, then the form will be submitted.

With a return true you are saying that the button must work add is intended... and
-the submit button is for sending the form-

If you want to disable at all cost, I suggest a predefined return false.

Could be:

• on the form tag in onsubmit like:

  <form onsubmit="return false"> 

• in your javascript function like you have now but creating a conditional return value, like:

  <form onsubmit="return yourFunction()"> 

• with jquery like:

  $('form').submit(function() { // do stuff return false; }); 

• others..

Edit

Additionally.. you could change the input type:submit to just a button
Then send the form with jQuery (after validation).

And to prevent form submit when enter key is pressed as @Daniel Lisik point it out...
need to acomplish two condition (without javascript)

1. No input type:submit buttons present in the form
2. More than one input field.

As Daniel said, you should put your code into the jQuery submit function

This method is a shortcut for .on( "submit", handler ) in the first variation, and .trigger( "submit" ) in the third.

The submit event is sent to an element when the user is attempting to submit a form. It can only be attached to elements. Forms can be submitted either by clicking an explicit , , or , or by pressing Enter when certain form elements have focus.

Example code straight from the jQuery website

$( "#target" ).submit(function( event ) { alert( "Handler for .submit() called." ); event.preventDefault(); }); 

Changing the button type will disable the submit of the input already from start up:

$(document).ready(function() { $('input#next').attr("type", "button"); // own code $('input#next').click( function() { // ... }); }); 

And then you can add your own code below.
