I am looking for the neatest way to create an HTML form which does not have a submit button. That itself is easy enough, but I also need to stop the form from reloading itself when submission-like things are done (for example, hitting Enter in a text field).

Add an onsubmit handler to the form (either via plain js or jquery $().submit(fn)), and return false unless your specific conditions are met.

Unless you don't want the form to submit, ever - in which case, why not just leave out the 'action' attribute on the form element?
