New toy.. usability is .. hmm.

It doesn't matter if you do all the error checking in the world, or if you have the most beautiful graphics, if your site or application design isn't usable, it's not going to do well. Get input and advice on usability and user interface issues here.

It's a new toy for making lists .. written primary as an exercise for me to brush up on my javascript skills. There's a problem with it though. When you're adding things to a list it's irritating to have to keep going back to the "Add Item" button. I'd rather have it add a new item on pressing Return .. but normally that would submit the form. What to do? Any ideas?

EDIT: Added 'ALT+A' to add items. Improved, but still less than perfect.

You can have an onSubmit even inside your form, just have your function return false and the form won't actually be submitted
