Pressing 'Enter' executes Cancel button instead of Submit - angularjs

Question

<form class="stdform stdform2" name="projectForm" ng-submit="saveProject(project, projectForm)"
novalidate="novalidate">
<p>
<div class="par control-group" ng-class="{'has-error': projectForm.projectName.$invalid && (projectForm.projectName.$dirty || submitted)}">
<label class="control-label" for="projectname">Name</label>
<div class="controls">
<span class="field">
<input id="projectname" type="text" ng-model="project.name" name="projectName" class="form-control"
required/>
<label ng-show="projectForm.projectName.$error.required && (projectForm.projectName.$dirty || submitted)"
class="error" for="projectname">Please type project name</label>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</p>
<p>
<label>Description</label>
<span class="field">
<textarea ng-model="project.description" name="projectDescription"
style="resize: vertical; height: 110px;" class="form-control input-default"></textarea>
</span>
</p>
<p class="stdformbutton">
<button class="btn btn-default" ui-sref="app.project.list">Cancel</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">{{saveMessage}}</button>
</p>
</form>
Why after pressing the 'Enter' key on keyboard am I redirected to app.project.list instead of having the saveProject(project, projectForm) function executed?

Answer 1

The default type for buttons is submit. You have to explicitly unset it to "button" to avoid the submit action:
<p class="stdformbutton">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="button" ui-sref="app.project.list">Cancel</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">{{saveMessage}}</button>
</p>
You can also set the type="reset" if you want it to clear out the input values.
