    As a web developer of questionable frontend skills, it kinda looks like something you’d do as a band-aid solution if you had no idea how forms work or how to suppress their default events, which do happen to include the enter key being pressed. Really wild to go about it that route, whatever the intention was lol.

    Edit: While typing my other response down this comment thread, I realized for this to happen the developer must have actually suppressed the event correctly so it’s even weirder they chose to handle it like this

      Probably users were submitting the form too early or something, either way I agree this is a bit of an unusual way to handle this lol

    I wouldn’t file taxes a site that doesn’t enforce HTTPS at its default root page.

      Sadly this is one of only two sites where I can E-File my state taxes for free according to the IRS and the other one didn’t look much better. Thanks TurboTax/H&R lobbyists.

      LOL, i could understand decades ago when the SSL certificate was expensive and a hassle to renew but nowadays it’s (almost) just a checkbox…
