You can use JavaScript -- it is what I have done. Check out [1] and look for the "clickLink" functionality. Then use a keyPress event to look for \n or \r (I think most or all browsers use \r as enter though), and then 'click' the link. The page below [2] is an excellent reference and this specific page shows, in a cross-browser way, to get which key has been pressed.
There may be easier ways, but this is by far more useful. You can trap the escape key, arrow keys, etc. and be able to make a better user experience. -Andrew [1] http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/JavascriptWithJavaServerFaces [2] http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_properties.html On 8/5/06, Hailong Zhang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I have a search bar contains a TextBox and a CommandLink. When user hit "Enter" in the TextBox, I don't know what happens, it seems that it refresh the page. Instead, I want to submit the form when "Enter" is hit, behave the same as use click the CommandLink. I have tried "j4j Tag Library, defaultAction", but it doesn't work. Any solutions? Thanks in advance. Regards, Toby
