It feels that this should be something very basic, but I simply cannot get it to work.

 

 

 

vf code:

 

<apex:page Controller="IndividualAccreditationFormController" >

  <apex:form >

              <apex:selectList value="{!value}" size="1">
                <apex:selectOptions value="{!USPersonAnswers}" />
              </apex:selectList>      
              <apex:commandButton value="Ugh this blows" action="{!signAndRegister}"></apex:commandButton>   
         </apex:form>
   
</apex:page>

 

 

in the controller, I have a very simple:

 

    public String value {get;set;}

 

and the method signAndRegister() simply tries to use the value string and assign it to an object's custom field:

 

public void signAndRegister() {

 System.debug('Before sign and register: '+value);
        
        if (this.value==null) {
            this.value = 'was null';
        }
        
            form.USPersonText__c = this.value;
                   insert form;
           }

 

Anyway, value is never getting set. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a visualforce "wizard". I would like to disable the form submit on pressing enter (particularly when all the fields are not filled out), and force the user to click "Next" instead. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello everyone, just wanted to share with the community this custom component I made and give something back for the help I've received. :smileyhappy:

The purpose of the component is to enable autocomplete in lookup fields. I used the autocomplete js created by Jim Roos:
(http://www.jimroos.com/2007/05/ajax-autocomplete.html) but made some modifications to it so that it could interact with an Apex controller among some other things...

So my idea was that if you were making a VF page that had an inputfield that was related to a lookupfield you would just insert this autocomplete component to that inputfield. Something like this:

Jonathan.
