Question:
I'm stuck on the above problem. I have a simple form as follows, with a text input, a select list and a submit button. When focus is on the text input and I hit Enter, the form submits. If focus is on the select list the submit does not fire. I want the form to submit regardless of which field has focus.
<html> <head runat="server"> <title></title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <input id='text1'/> <select> <option value="volvo">Volvo</option> <option value="saab">Saab</option> <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option> <option value="audi">Audi</option> </select> <input type='submit' onclick='alert("you submitted the form")'/> </div> </form> </body> </html>
Solution:1
It's normal browser behaviour, to select an option with enter.
What you can do is attach a listener to the keyDown event of the select element and submit the form when the user pressed enter. For example. with jQuery:
$('#your-select').keydown(function(e){ if (e.keyCode == 13) { $('#your-form').submit(); } }); You should consider that it breaks the standards and would cause a problem for users navigating with keyboard.
Solution:2
firefox does this by default, for ie you need some type of javascript function cause IE binds the submit on enter only to inputs.
