Backspace issue in rich:comboBox

[deeps83]

Hi,

When the backspace button is pressed inside a rich:comboBox the web page is navigating to the previous page.Is there any way to disable this? I tried giving the following :

<rich:hotKey key="backspace"

disableInInput="true"

handler="alert('Backspace is disabled'); event.stopPropagation(); event.preventDefault(); return false;" />

But rich hot key seems to be not working with combobox.I have seen some issue also related to this.

So can u please suggest me any solution for this.

Thanks,

Deeps.

disableInInput="true" - should be false. if true hotKey not working in inputs.

Tried giving

<rich:hotKey key="backspace" disableInInput="false"

                                                                                                                                  handler="alert('Backspace is disabled'); event.stopPropagation(); event.preventDefault(); return false;" />

and

<rich:hotKey key="backspace" disableInInput="false"

                                                                                                                                  handler="alert('Backspace is disabled');return false;" />

just after the combo box.

we got the same issue.

i use a little javascript to solve this.

combo.setOnkeypress("if (event.keyCode == 8 || event.keyCode==110 || event.keyCode==46 ){ if(document.getElementById('id_of_combo' +'comboboxField') != null )document.getElementById('id_of_combo' +'comboboxField').value=''; return false; }"

);

it work's fine

The issue is there for combo boxes and text boxes have no issues.I tried the above solution ,but onkeypress event is not getting triggered for bacspace key.So I tried with onkeydown for which the javascript funtion is getting called.But then it will navigate to the previous page after calling the function.So I added event.stopPropagation(); and event.preventDefault(); in the js function.Still it is not working.

My js is :-

function disableBackSpace(event)

            {

                event.stopPropagation();

                event.preventDefault();

                return false;

            }

The hotkey solution seems to be not working with combobox.Can any one please sugget any solution for avoiding previous page navigation when bacspace is pressed inside an input field(combobox).

Thanks,
