i have answered You yesterday but i cant see my mail, so i do it again...
sht strange is going on in my new mail client so im sory if someone was
spamed by this mail:P
the idea is to detect enter key and than "click" desired button
first we need JS function:
function keyUpOnSearchEdit(key, buttonId){
if ( ! key ){//browser dependend sh!t;)
key = event.keyCode;
}
if(key==13){//13 is enter key code
document.getElementById(buttonId).click();//click on desired button
return false;//important! to stop event propagation
}
}
than we need input text:
<h:inputText value="#{offerForm.textToSearch}" id="textToSearch" size="30"
onkeypress="return /*return in
important to stop event propagation*/
keyUpOnSearchEdit(event.which,'f:searchButton')" />
and finally we need button:
<x:commandButton value="#{msg.SEARCH_BUTTON}" action="#{offerForm.search}"
id="searchButton"/>

Hi,
I have several buttons in my JSF form page. There are also several
input fields. What I would like is when the user is in one particular
text field and hits Enter, I want to trigger the button associated
with it. If I'm in another text field, it should trigger a different
button.
Basically I want to change submit button focus with javascript or JSF
depending on which input field has focus. What is the best way to do
this?
