click a button on keydown in textbox


jono

Recommended Posts

I want a button to be automatically clicked when I press Return in a textbox. Normally some other link will be clicked on Return but I want my search button to be clicked.I have a function that checks if the keyCode is 13 and then tries to click my button by doing this:["document.forms[0].elements['NormalFrameWorkControl:center_middle:SearchBodyControl:btnSearch'].click();]But why won't my button react??/jono

instead of using

document.forms[0].elements['NormalFrameWorkControl:center_middle:SearchBodyControl:btnSearch'].click();]

give the button an id then use this

document.getElementById('buttonID').click();

or even better

document.forms[0].submit();

Works great in Firefox but not in IE 6.0...Will IE need some special javascript code?or even better

document.forms[0].submit();

Not accurate enough...
