On enter key, form is submitted

I am using bootstrap input tags like this

myPage.html

<form th:object="$field" name="modal" method="post" th:action="@/ajouterFieldEcran">
...

<div class="form-group row">
<label for="name" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="text" class="form-control col-sm-12" value=""
data-role="tagsinput" id="tags">
</div>
</div>


...


I get the example from this post Bootstrap tags input not displaying the tags

The problem is when I am typing the value and press enter to submit it in the input the form that is submitted.

You can disable enter key in input tags like this

$(function()
$("input").keydown(function(event)
if (event.keyCode == 13)
event.preventDefault();

);
);


put this inside your script tag

Remove col-sm-12 from input class, you don't need that.

col-sm-12

Also please note that you cannot use enter key in a text box for new line (input type='text' are single line by design), for multiline text you need to use textarea

textarea
