Forgot to mention that if you want to fire it on all elements in the
form, then you could (once again not tested):
<script>
for (var f = 0; f < document.forms.length; f++)
{
var form = document.forms[f]
for (var e = 0; e < form.elements.length; e++)
{
var elem = form.elements[e]
if (elem.name != 'input') continue // add more controls to support here
if (elem.type && elem.type == 'text')
elem.onkeyup = submitform
}
}
function submitform(event)
{
var keycode
if (window.event)
keycode = window.event.keycode
else
keycode = event.keycode
if (keycode != 13) return
var fireOnThis = document.getElementById('defaultSubmitElement')
if (document.createEvent)
{
var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents')
evObj.initEvent( 'click', true, false )
fireOnThis.dispatchEvent(evObj)
}
else if (document.createEventObject)
{
fireOnThis.fireEvent('onclick')
}
}
</script>
<t:commandButton id="defaultSubmitElement" forceId="true" />
This isn't as nice as the same button/link has to be used for each
form and element, but you don't have to put the handler on each
element either. Up to you.
