Handle ENTER event key press in visual force page

Hi all,

 

I want to ask how to handle ENTER event key press in visual force page? Is it possible using javascript or any suggestions? My case is I have 2 buttons in visualforce page and if I click ENTER regardless where I hit ENTER, I want my button no.2 to be run.. Is that possible?

Any suggestions would be great..

 

Thanks

Hi,

     You can implement this through javacript code.Below is the code snippet to attain your requiremnt.

 

<apex:inputText id="username" onkeypress="return onKeyup_TxtFieldcom(event);" value="{!username}" />
<script>
function onKeyup_TxtFieldcom(e)
{
var keynum;
if(window.event) // IE
{
keynum = e.keyCode;
}

if(keynum == 13) 
{ 
redirct();
return false; 
} 
}
</script>

Hi,

For calling the above method on Enter Click.
Use : window.onkeypress=onKeyup_TxtFieldcom;
under your script.
