    main h:form is submitted when I hit enter in a4j:form

    asookazian

      As below code, a4j:form is embedded inside a modalPanel. when i enter data in the inputText and hit enter button on keyboard, the main form in the xhtml is submitted and the entire screen/JSF is re-rendered. i only want the a4j:form to be submitted (like when I click the submit button below) and then the modalPanel to close.

      how can I accomplish this?

      one was is add onkeypress event handler for <h:inputText> and determine if the key pressed was the enter key. if so, exec noteAction.submit.

      any better way?

      <rich:modalPanel id="mp" minHeight="200" minWidth="450"
       height="200" width="500" zindex="2000">
       <f:facet name="header">
       <h:outputText value="#{noteAction.header}" />
       </f:facet>
       <f:facet name="controls">
       <h:graphicImage value="/img/icon_edit.gif" style="cursor:pointer" onclick="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('mp')" />
       </f:facet>
       <a4j:form id="a4jForm">
       <h:inputText id="noteText" value="#{noteAction.noteText}"/>
       <h:inputHidden id="rowIndex" value="noteAction.rowIndex"/>
       <h:inputHidden id="colName" value="noteAction.colName"/>
       <h:inputHidden id="siteId" value="noteAction.siteId"/>
       <h:inputHidden id="employeeNumber" value="noteAction.employeeNumber"/>
       <a4j:commandButton value="submit" action="#{noteAction.submit}" onclick="showNoteGraphic();Richfaces.hideModalPanel('mp')"/>
       </a4j:form>
       </rich:modalPanel>

          you sure you do not have forms nested?
