STRUTS-<html:submit> -Hitting enter key does not submit the form

Hi,

I have a struts form <html:form> in which although the focus rests on
the submit button, hitting the enter key does not submit the form.

I tried capturing the Enter key event and followed it by the
document.form.s ubmit() but this takes me through the validation
attached with the submit twice( giving me all the alerts twice).

Here's the code
function validate()
{

var validateVal = isValidated();//this guy does all the validation
if(!validateVal )
{
return false;
}
else
{
document.CustSe archFormBean.su bmit();
}

}

function checkKeyPressed ()
{

if(window.event .keyCode=="13")
{

validate();
}
}

I call validate
a)for the enter button through <BODY onkeypress=chec kKeyPressed();
b)for the mouseclick submit through <html:submit onclick=validat e();
This may be a whole pointless workaround. Does Struts support
something more elegant?

Any solutions?
Thanks and Regards,
Megha

Better rely on default form behavior where "enter" does actually submit the
form. Just like that. Try the "onsubmit" on the <form> tag like this:

<form action="?" method="?" onsubmit="retur n isValidated();" >

And make sure that your <html:submit/> renders as <input type="submit"/> in
the real world. One might need to call function isValidated() with an
argument - as in sValidated(this ) - or as a method of the form - like
this.isValidate d(), check it out.
This may be a whole pointless workaround. Does Struts support
something more elegant?


Server side validation?

I'm sorry , if you attempted to answer my query. I had a problem
completely unrelated to the <html:submit> or the java script function
shown.

I had a numeric lock on one of my fields that was not recognising the
"Enter" event.

Sorry again,

Megha.

Hi I have one text field and one submit button. If I hit the submit button with a mouse the key/value pair key are properly submitted. However, if I just hit the enter key the page does get submitted however without the key/value pair of the submit button. I would accept that a user must click the button to submit the pair, but none of my other pages require that. It seems if I just hit the enter key it defaults to hitting the submit...

My site's login page has a form w/ 2 textboxes and a submit button. If I'm in either of those textboxes (i.e., either one of the textboxes has focus), in any given browser, hitting "enter" on my keyboard submits the form. Server side, I handle the click event of the submit button. This is the expected behavior, and this is the behavior irrespective of what browser I use on the login page. However...

I'm getting incorrect response when hitting the enter key instead of actually clicking the button on a form. It activates but the post data isn't being sent I think.

Who knows how to prevent submitting a form on the press Enter button before all fields on the form are filled up. People just enter the first field hit Enter and it submits the form and doing validation, of course flushing with the bunch of messages because rest of the fields are empty. I remember I had some pages where wrote the code to go on the next field when pressed the Enter button (Tab like), because it didn't go anywhere at all....

I feel like a fool for asking this; seems like I would have had more luck with Google, but alas... This is a little baby bit of code that a friend cooked up over a year ago. My problem is simply that hitting enter doesn't really submit the input. It just reloads with a cleared form. My desired effect is for hitting the Enter key to have the same effect as clicking the Submit button. Here's the code:

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
