Enter key form submission

I have one text field and one button('Find') on my JSP page. If I press 'Enter' key my form is getting submitted without validation.
I have no submit button on my page. Although I have handled that problem by checking Enter key code. But I wnat to know the
root cause and its probably its solution

Nothing to do with JSP. Moved to the HTML forum.

How do you have the validation hooked up? Can't help you with the scant info you have provided.

You need to validate with onsubmit of the form, not onclick of a button.

there is no submit button on my page.
I have used find button and it onclick is handled in js
$(.findbuttonclass).click(function(){
validateFind();
});

function validate(){
if(document.getElementById("account")==""){
return false;
}
}

As Eric has already pointed out, a click handler is the worst possible place to handle validation. Us a submit handler established on the form.
