I am trying to get a simple script to work, but I seem to be doing something
wrong.  A few weeks back I posed the question of how to ensure that a
browers only submit when the user hits the submit button.

Here is my version on someone's suggested solution:

<head>
<script language=Javascript>
var enter = false
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form ... onSubmit="return enter;">
<input type="submit" onClick="enter=true">
</form>
<body>

However, the script does not seem to be working.  Any suggestions?

On a side note, the reason I chose this script is because I think it should
degrade well.  However, this assumption is based on the fact that both
onSubmit and onChange both work or don't work in a browser.   Is there any
reason to believe otherwise?

Thanks,
Josh
