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).

Simply add this event to your text field. It will prevent a submission on pressing Enter, and you're free to add a submit button or call form.submit() as required:

onKeyPress="if (event.which == 13) return false;"

For example:

<input id="txt" type="text" onKeyPress="if (event.which == 13) return false;"></input>

Try preventDefault() method inside event listener for submit in this form
