Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] Trouble with forms

[Bob Schader]

Brian,

Just make both input boxes do a submit like the current one does I would think.
If people tab between them it should be no problem. Even if they hit return,
I would also think it not a problem IF the form processing code at the beginning
of the admin page is modified properly. I'm stating this from memory though,
so I suppose I could be wrong. But I see no need for 2 forms or a submit button
in this case.
