How to Deactivate the “Enter Key” when using jQueryUI Dialog Message

How to Deactivate the “Enter Key” when using jQueryUI Dialog Message

I am having some issue with the enter key within IE6 together with the jQuery UI Dialog confirmation box that has just an "Ok" button on it. (see code below).

Basically, I only want the dialog box together with any additional function calls against the "Ok" to close/fire function, only when the user clicks on the "Ok" button.

At the moment, I allow the user to press the "Enter" to fire off the retrieval of some info and then based on some validation of this data, I produce a modal jQuery UI dialog box but seems to autmatically close from the user's pressing of the "Enter Key" from the start.

How can I prevent this from occuring, i.e. deactivate the "Enter" key in IE6 for this jQueryUI Dialog Message box?

Thanks.

  1. $("#myBox").dialog({
                autoOpen
    : false,
                closeOnEscape
    : false,
                resizable
    : false,
                modal
    : true,
                draggable
    : false,
                position
    :  ["center", 100],
                buttons
    : {
                 
    'Ok': function() {
                          $
    (this).dialog("close");
                          closeReq
    ();
                       
    }
           
    }
       
    });
