Locking out a Multi-Line text box from Enter key

    I was wondering how we can lock a multi-line text box from enter key, i.e. when the user presses enter on my multi-line text book, it doesn't takes the cursor to a new line but instead stay at the same line.

    Actually I am trying to use a multi-line text book as a single-line text book ( for designing purposes ).

    I remember doing it back in the days, can't figure it right now :)

    I found only this code that works in IE6 for me:
    
<html>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">

function noEnter(e){

	if (e.keyCode == 13 )
	{
		event.returnValue = false;
	}
	
}

</script>
<form>
	<textarea onkeypress="noEnter(event)" /></textarea>
</form>
</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):
    Try google with "javascript block key" or "javascript detect keypress" and similar.
