Hi,
Is it possible to detect if the IE autocomplete function in a current
context such as a textbox is activated (ie. dropdown with previously
entered info is visible)?
Problem:
I use a script as a basis for binding <enter> in textbox to a button,
BUT <enter> in the dropdown autocomplete generated by IE also triggers
this event.
The script is available below (in .NET context but the idea should
shine through).
Best regards
