Hi, I'm not sure this 100% related but we ran into something similar. Different browsers do different things when you hit ENTER. Checking the HTML spec, it looks like there's no definition of what should happen. Most browsers handle the ENTER as if you've clicked on the first button, but some do not. This behaviour, for some reason, is mostly a problem when you have a single field in your form.
Our workaround was to assume that the first buttom on the form was clicked when we got no submit action from the servlet. Hope this helps, Dror On Sat, Nov 16, 2002 at 10:48:13AM +0800, randie ursal wrote: > hi list, > > i have a strange problem. > > i have a simple form that has a textfield and a submit button. > > when i enter a value which is in English into the textfield and > presses <ENTER> key, everything works fine. but when i use JAPANESE > characters my SERVLET wasn't able to get any value. > > also, when i use the submit button by clicking it, everything works > fine for both ENGLISH and JAPANESE characters. > > does anyone have any idea on what's wrong? > > > thanks. > > =========================================================================== > To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff > JSP-INTEREST". > For digest: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "set JSP-INTEREST > DIGEST". > Some relevant FAQs on JSP/Servlets can be found at: > > http://archives.java.sun.com/jsp-interest.html > http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/faq.html > http://www.esperanto.org.nz/jsp/jspfaq.jsp > http://www.jguru.com/faq/index.jsp > http://www.jspinsider.com -- Dror Matalon Zapatec Inc 1700 MLK Way Berkeley, CA 94709 http://www.zapatec.com =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
