ComboBox vs. HotKey return
Hello everyone.
Do you have any solution for the problem described below. If so, please let me know.
Regards
pkx
Intention:
I defined a form containing a combobox and several buttons. If the return key is pressed, on of the buttons shall be activated. For this I configured some rich:hotkeys as shown below. The return key shall also fire the form, if the combobox is focussed.
Problem:
Return key is captured by the combobox. Thus the form is not submitted, if the return key is pressed for a focussed combobox. Referring to your javascript combobox.js, you stop the event propagation in the filedKeyDownHandler() function.
Example:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/a4j" prefix="a4j"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/rich" prefix="rich"%>
