Hello. I've been noticing that when students are entering an answer to a text box and they press "Enter", it submits the test. Of course, they don't need to do that, but when they do it submits and incomplete test. Would there be a way to....
1.) Disassociate the enter button and the submit action, or,
2.) Have a pop-up appear that says, "Would you like to submit this test?" with a Yes/No option.
Thank you!

Are all questions on the same page?

Yes. They are.

There's not a confirmation currently when submitting a test, but that would be a good feature. I've added it to the tracker:

Greg,
Ok. In the meantime, is there any way to turn off the "enter button = sumbit" behavior by code?
Thank you.

You'd need to replace it with a javascripted button.
Google it. There'll be examples you can copy from.

Solved.
For those that are interested, here's what I did. Following the instructions at http://www.arraystudio.com/as-workshop/disable-form-submit-on-enter-keypress.html...
1. Insert the following into ATutor/themes/your_theme/include/header.tmpl.php
[php]
<script language="JavaScript">
function disableEnterKey(e)
{
var key;
if(window.event)
key = window.event.keyCode; //IE
else
key = e.which; //firefox
if(key == 13)
return false;
else
return true;
}
</script>
[/php]
2. Any question types with an input field in ATutor/your_theme/default/test_questions/question_type_with_text_input_area put:
[php]
"onKeyPress="return disableEnterKey(event)"
[/php]
into the <input> tag.
Like this:
<input type="text" [b]onKeyPress="return disableEnterKey(event)" [/b] name="answers[<?php echo $this->row['question_id']; ?>]" class="formfield" size="15" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($this->response); ?>" />
Enjoy!
