Limit the keys triggering a <rich:suggestionbox>

[greko]

Hello !

Is there a way to limit the keys that trigger the suggestion box ?

e.g. Each time I enter my shift key, or ctrl, or whatever, my backing action is executed. I want to limit that to a simple [:alnum:] regex.

how can I perform this ?

Thx guys !

we can enable onsubmit attribute. If javascript function there return false, the request will be discarded. So, you will be able to check the input and decide what to ignore.

Request for enhancement has been added: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-81

we decided to avoid sending request by default if shift , ctrl ant other keys that do not change the text are pressed. However, onsubmit will be also added.

But you can also decrease the processings right now using minChars attribute (so the first Ctrl, Shift etc.. wil be ignored because there is no input).

And also use common ajax4jsf attributes ingoreDupResponce, requestDelay, eventqueue etc..

Hope this helps while we provide additional features to make the box more flexible.
