I'm not sure what I am doing wrong here. I want the enter key to work as well as clicking the button.
<form action="" method="get" class="priceOptionForm" name="priceOptionForm">
<input name="paypal_email" type="text" value="whatever" id="email"></label>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="bluebtn" id="profile_price" style="width:60px;margin-top:5px;">Save all</a>
</form>
Try this:
document.getElementById('email').onkeydown = function(e){
if(e.keyCode == 13){
// submit
}
};
Please use below code snippet...It should be added into script block
<script>
document.onkeydown=function(evt){
var keyCode = evt ? (evt.which ? evt.which : evt.keyCode) : event.keyCode;
if(keyCode == 13)
{
//your function call here
}
}
</script>
All below codes should be added into script block or file.
define submit function:
function submitForm(){
document.priceOptionForm.submit();
document.priceOptionForm.method='post';
}
For the enter key to submit form:
document.onkeydown=function(){
if(window.event.keyCode=='13'){
submitForm();
}
}
For the link to work:
document.getElementById("profile_price").onclick=submitForm;
You can refer to http://jsfiddle.net/honglonglong/YMX2q/ for some trying.
Use an <input type="submit">
instead of a link. Then the enter key will work automatically.
simply make a hidden button like this
HTML
<input type="submit" id="submitbtn" />
CSS
#submitbtn{display:none;}
when the user will hit the enter button the form will be submitted
Don't forget to put the type="submit"
// Process form if use enter key. put script in head.
document.onkeyup = enter;
function enter(e) {if (e.which == 13) submitForm();}
// uses keyup not down as better practice imo
// submitForm() is user function that posts the form
Oh that is because the HTML form element does not recognize the link as a button, to click..
you need to replace it with a button...
<input type="submit" value="this will display on your button" onClick="javascript:void(0)">
but if you want it to look like a link you should do this in the css
<style type="text/css">
input{background-color:white;border:0 none;}
</style>
