Changing Jeff Douglas' Dynamic Search to Button Click

Hi,

 

Hats off to Jeff Douglas for this wonderful piece of work. I've use it successfully more or less as is.

http://blog.jeffdouglas.com/2010/07/13/building-a-dynamic-search-page-in-visualforce/

 

I now have a search that really needs to be button driven, partly from a combo of fast typing and huge amount of data.

 

It seemed to me that "all I had to do" was:

  • Create a button with onclick="doSearch();"
  • Remove onkeyup="doSearch();" from the search criteria fields
  • fill the fields and click the button

Clearly not. I have gotten mixed results. The search doesn't happen. Sometimes it appears that the page is re-entered after the search is done and the page is rendered. That is,

  • fill the fields and click the button
  • Page is rerendered
  • Page is rerendered again

I can see this in the logs. The soql string has the search parameters: "and Contributor__r.firstname LIKE 'ag%"

 

Moreover, if I have a "mixed" page with the button and the onkeyups the search works.

 

Any experience with changing Jeff's code to button click? Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

 

Thanks in advance... Bob

I'm having the same issue. Due to the delay of the search, It would be useful if the action just worked after a click on a button.

 

No solutions yet?
