Avoiding page reload under the following conditions:

[balteo]

Hello,

Say I have a h:form with an h:inputText field and a a4j:commandButton. Moreover the user has just entered some text into the h:inputText field (which currently has the focus) and instead of clicking the a4j:commandButton they press their keyboard enter key and the whole page is reloaded.

How can I prevent this behaviour and make sure nothing happens when the inputtext has the focus and the keyboard enter key is pressed?

Thanks in advance,

J.

just process onkeyup in input .. check if the enter was pressed and if so - click the button from js and return false. Or just use rich:hotKey ;)

Thanks a lot Ilya,
I am going to use one of the suggested solutions.
Just one last question: what is the return false for?

in order to prevent further processing of the event by browser.
