I thought there might be an easier way to do this. With html, I'd do
something like
<input type="text" onchange="javascript:doSomething()">
The natural way to handle this with qooxdoo I thought, was
myTextField.addEventListener("change", doSomething, this);
Thus, I'd only need one function doSomething. Now I need
doSomethingWhenButtonIsClicked and doSomethingWhenKeyIsPressed.
So, as I see it, I could
a) listen for input and check, if return has been pressed
b) or do something like
myTextField.addHtmlProperty("onchange",
"javascript:doSomething()");
c) or write my own TextField class, which listens to the change event.
