Re: B07 Final turn

This criticism of the order entry page puzzles me, actually.

Every single web form on the face of the earth uses the enter key as "send".
Its the default for internet explorer.

Moaning about the enter key sending your orders is like moaning "If I
accidentally press the off key my computer closes down and I lose my
orders."

The answer is simply: "dont press the enter key until you've finished."

I've filled in thousands of online forms in my time and I do not believe I
have ever once pressed the enter key by accident and sent a half-filled
form.

In the end, if you want and all-singing all-dancing order entry program to
do your orders with, then sign up for a couple of dozen games in advance,
and get 20 friends to do the same, and we'll have a platform that makes it
viable to do the sort of programming required for a 'house' program like
that.

Unfortunately, until the game becomes successful enough to merit it, we have
to use the tools we have available to us.

The Red default set up is infinitely better than the Black or Gray, but I never understood why you'd want to pay to put a pair of volcanoes in your back yard....

... I've just found a useful piece of code which deactivates the enter key in HTML and added it to the order and custom signup page. That should solve your...
