a4j:ajax event for submit or enter keyboard

[bouz78]

Hello there,

I use the following to be able to filter entry from an inputText. It works fine when i use the tab button. However, I want it also to respond when I hit the enter button on keyboard

<a4j:ajax event="change" render=... execute...>

best regards

I usually use something like this:

<h:inputText  id="quickSearch"

      value="#{myManager.searchString}"          

      onkeypress="doSearch(event)"

  />

<h:commandLink id="doSearchLink"

      value="search"                                                                  

      action="#{myManager.search}"

      />

<script type="text/javascript">

      function doSearch(event){         

        // on enter: start search

        if (event.which == "13") {

            event.preventDefault();

            document.getElementById('form:doSearchLink').click();

        }

      }

   </script>

this works in Firefox. For IE you have to use another "event" event and other properties.

Instead of a h:commandLink you could call an a4j:jsFunction
