google chrome submits form even if there is no SUBMIT button

Question

This bug/feature cropped up in one of my pages when viewed in google chrome so i wrote a test page which looks like this

Answer 1

Not even Chrome, most of browsers submit once you press enter (even there is not submit button) when cursor in input.

Answer 2

To cite section 4.10.21.2 of the HTML5 specification:

"If the form has no submit button, then the implicit submission mechanism must just submit the form element from the form element itself."the form element itself."

Therefore I believe Chrome's behaviour to be correct, although I think other browsers do this as well. You can catch/block/process form submission by listening to the "submit" (e.g. to block it) event.BlockquoteBlockquotethe form element itself."

Answer 3

I have the opposite problem. I use custom js-element for my form and when i use style='dispay:none;' for the submit button, chrome does not submit form on enter, although, firefox does :(
