Invoking a command link's action from a javascript, on pressing enter key

Question

i have the foll java script function. on pressing enter within an input field i want a certain commandlink's action to be automatically performed:
function checkKeycode() {
     alert("entered");
          var keycode;
          if (window.event) keycode = window.event.keyCode;
          //else if (e) keycode = e.which;
          if(keycode==13){               
               alert("keycode: " + keycode);           
               var x=document.getElementById("form10:link1");
               alert("about to click");
               x.click();
               //document.forms[0].link1.click();               
               //if(validate('form1:_system_username,form1:_system_password','form1:_id0,form1:_id1','2'))
                    //alert("about to submit page");
                    //submitPage();
     }This fn is being called from the input text as follows:
<h:inputText styleClass="inputText" id="text1" size="32" onkeypress="checkKeycode();"></h:inputText>And the code containing the command link who's action i want to be called is:
<h:commandLink styleClass="commandLink" id="link1"
                         action="#{pc_Test.doLink1Action1}">

Hi
From your javascript , it is known that this is only work in IE,
And indeed it works fine, mybe there is another button which the default in your jsp
Change your code like this:
onkeypress="return checkKeycode();"
and at end of your javascript return false when you call x.click
