commandButton and return button

[hrbaer]

Hi,

if there are more than one commandButtons on my side is there any possibility to declare some "default" by entering the return button?

In my case I have a search button .. then there is a table with the result set and then there is an other button . If I choose some search criteria and press return the action-Method of my second commandButton gets reached.

<rich:simpleTogglePanel switchType="ajax" width="100%">
<rich:panel header="Suchkriterien" style="width: 99%;">

 <h:panelGroup >
 <table width="100%" border="0">
 <tr>
 <td><h:outputText value="number" /></td>
 <td>
 <h:inputText value="#{mb.number}" />
 </td>
 </tr>
 </table>
 </h:panelGroup>

 <h:panelGrid columns="1" columnClasses="alignRight" styleClass="maxWidth">
 <a4j:commandButton actionListener="#{mb.suche}" value="Search" reRender="details" ajaxSingle="true" />
 </h:panelGrid>

</rich:panel>

<br/>
<rich:scrollableDataTable value="#{mb.list}" var="record" width="99%" height="250px">
 <rich:column sortBy="#{record.name}">
 <f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Name" escape="false"/></f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="#{record.name}" />
 </rich:column>
</rich:scrollableDataTable>
<h:panelGrid>
 <a4j:commandButton actionListener="#{mb.new}" value="new" reRender="details" />
</h:panelGrid>
</rich:simpleTogglePanel>

[...]

Any ideas??

Hi,

You need to use javascript for that issue.
Open source taglibs are also available for that.

Take a look at the following link

Ok,

if you use a a4j:commandButton (f.ex. you want to use ajaxSingle=true) the generated html-output is a .
If you use a h:commandButton the generated output is .

So is there any chance to use a4j:commandButton which result in a input type="submit" ??

Because if not and you want to use f.ex a search button but there are also some aktiv detail fields they become validated by using a h:commandButton which is not(!) the expected behaviour.

Thanks in advance.
