Enter key on multiLine InputText

Is the Enter Key allowed to use to go to the next line to multiLine inputText?

Hi,
Yes it's always allowed, however the problem comes when you then try to output it using an outputText, it won't show the line feed as \n is ignored in HTML. You have to use Trinidad's outputDocument component for that.

JSF Disable Enter key on h:inputText......

Hello All,
Hope all of you are doing good. Currently we are using JSF 1.1 for our new application, i have got a requirement as follows. This is a weird problem i hope....
I have a <h:inputText....> component in my page and when if user presses "Enter" key the page is getting submitted. I have tried by adding the following lines of Javascript code but still it is not working. Could you please review and suggest me on this.
function kH(e) {
     var pK = e ? e.which : window.event.keyCode;
     return pK != 13;
document.onkeypress = kH;
if (document.layers) document.captureEvents(Event.KEYPRESS);
Any suggestions are really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try this and see how it works for you:
<script language="JavaScript">
function disableEnterKey(e)
     var key;
     if(window.event)
          key = window.event.keyCode;     //IE
     else
          key = e.which;     //firefox
     if(key == 13)
          return false;
     else
          return true;
</script>
<h:inputText onkeypress="return disableEnterKey(event)" />

Capture enter key press in h:inputtext

hi,
i have a h:inputText component in my jsf page. i need to capture the enter key pressed for this component. how can this be done.
thanks in advance.

You can use Javascript for this. In the onkeypress event, check if the keycode is 13 (the enter key) and handle accordingly.
onkeypress="if (event.keyCode == 13) alert('Enter pressed!');"

How to call a method in backing bean on hitting 'Enter' key on a page.

Hi all,
I would be obliged if any one can provide me solution for the below given problem.
My requirement is to call a method in backing bean when i hit 'Enter' key on a JSP page.
I am trying this by using a script given below.
*function fnChangeFocus(){*
*if(window.event.keyCode==13){*
* document.getElementById("mainform:submitForm:commandbutton").focus();*
The JSP has the textbox as given below.
*<h:inputText id="inputtxtboxid" disabled="false" value="#{Bean.inputvalue}"*
onkeypress="fnChangeFocus()" size="24" />
Using this I could not acheive the required functionality. Please suggest some alternative.
Thanks,

Only a form element supports the submit() function. Make sure that the getElementById returns the appropriate form. Or rather pass the element as the 'this' reference to the function and get the parent form from it.
After all this is just basic DHTML / Javascript+DOM knowledge and in fact this has nothing to do with JSF. For future basic DHTML / JS+DOM questions you may take a look at the appropriate forums, e.g. dhtmlcentral.com, dynamicdrive.com, etcetera.

Using the enter key on an editable table

Hi,
I'm using 11g adf and I can't figure out how to get past this:
When going through an editable table (with editingMode="editAll") using the enter key, it will stop after a certain number of rows, equal to the value of fetchSize. If I want to go down further, I have to scroll down another way to make it fetch the next set of rows, it won't go to the next row with the enter key. It simply won't execute the query to fetch the next rows.
Increasing the fetchSize will just delay the problem to a row further down (and decrease the performance since the fetch operation can take quite a bit longer).
I've tried to put a clientListener on both the table or the inputText fields to intercept the enter key, but that won't work when the table is in editable mode.
Is there any way to fix this problem?

Hi,
I've tried to put a clientListener on both the table or the inputText fields to intercept the enter key, but that won't work when the table is in editable mode.
The clientListener needs to be on the inputText fields. Then in JS you need to call a server listener which will check if the current row is already at the range end and if calls NextSet (you can provide this as a method binding). Unfortunately after this you will need to PPR the table to show the new rows. This is how I would try it.

Enter key in an input field

Hi!
How can I do that when the user press "enter" key click inside an input field (for example an inputText), that key press fires the action of a commandButton diferent than the fisrt i have placed in my form???
Can anybody help me? =)

Define your form with a on key press event:
<h:form id="yourForm" onkeypress="if (event.keyCode == 13) {javascript:submitForm(); return false;}; return true;">The javascript function is:
function submitForm(){
     if (event.keyCode == 13){
          document.getElementById('yourForm:submitButtonId').click();
          return false;
     return true;
}submitButtonId is the id of the button that needs to be triggered when you press enter key. Hope this should solve your problem.

Disabling the enter key

Hi, I have a jsf page that has an <h:inputText> fileld, and whenever I fill it and press enter the form gets submmited. I want to disable the enter key, so that if the user hits enter nothing will happen. This way the form will only be submmited by clicking a button with the mouse.
Thank you,
Komyg

You can use javascript to do this. The merits of using javascript can be saved for another time. Simply put 'javascript disable enter key' in a Google search and you will find what you need. Here is the link at the top of that list:

Good luck.

Navigate previous record,next record by entering key-up and key-down

Hi ,
JDeveloper11g_
I am trying to solve of how to navigate previous record,next record by entering key-up and key-down in ADF Table.
If any of you have this solution by JScript of Backing Bean please help me.
Thanks

Hi zakir,
I hope I understood your requirements correctly. You have an editable ADF table. You would like to use the up/down arrow keys to move from one row to the next/prev row of the same column. Since the Tab key moves the cursor to the right and Shift+Tab moves it to the left, now you want to implement the same thing but just up and down, correct? If so, try this.
/** Javascript **/
function detectKey(evt) {
    var inputText = evt.getSource();
    var id = inputText.getClientId();
    var start2 = id.indexOf(":") + 1;
    var end2 = id.lastIndexOf(":");
    var numValue = parseInt(id.substring(start2, end2));
    var evt2 = evt.getNativeEvent();
    arrows=((evt2.which)||(evt2.keyCode));
    switch(arrows) {
        // Up arrow
        case 38:
        numValue = numValue - 1;
        break;
        // Down arrow
        case 40:
        numValue = numValue + 1;
        break;
    var newStr = id.replace(/:\d:/, ':' + numValue + ':');
    var comp = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent(newStr);
    if (comp != undefined) {
        comp.focus();
/** Jspx. (Place a client listener on each inputText in the ADF table) **/
<af:column .....>
<af:inputText value="#{row.bindings.price.inputValue}" .....>
    <af:clientListener type="keyDown" method="detectKey"/>
</af:inputText>
</af:column>With this, you get to move Up/Right/Down/Left in the editable ADF table without using the mouse.

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

     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'))

     }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}">

                    </h:commandLink>
The javascript is being entered as i get an alert saying that enter key was pressed. However it is not performing the action requried, saying that "null is null or not an object"
could sumone please help????

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

How to refresh changed data in a plannable template with the Enter Key

Hi,
The situation I face is as follows.
Integrated Planning is being implemented as a tool for budgeting. The user changes a value in a plannable cell on the portal and wishes to see the new updated data by pressing ENTER. Currently we have provided a REFRESH button so that the user gets the desired result.
Is it possible to see the updated value by pressing ' ENTER' and if so , whats the way around to do it.
thanks in advance.
Jaya

Hey guys,
I'm interested too in this solution. In BPS there is an additional function described in the HowTo Paper HowTo run planning functions on save and other events
Now I'm looking for this possibility in IP as well in excel-based IP and web-based IP. For example a copy function should be executed automatically when pushing the enter key.
Thanks a lot!

Table Control[Accept Input Only] - "ENTER" Key

Hi Folks,
I'm reviving this unanswered thread in relation to table control: when the user press enter, all the values entered disappear.
[url]Re: Table control (Enter key)[url]
I have a table control that accepts "ONLY" input, meaning to say, there will be no pre-loading of data in the PBO, so it will loop through the table control itself instead of looping from an internal table.
Issue: Whenever I press "ENTER" in any column/row of my table control, ALL the values I entered disappear.
PBO:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE CLEAR_OKCODE.
MODULE LOAD_TABLECTRL.
LOOP WITH CONTROL TC_DATA.
    MODULE READ_DATA.
ENDLOOP.
module READ_DATA output.
READ TABLE T_DATA INTO WA_DATA INDEX TC_DATA-current_line.
data : line_count type i.
"to increase the number of lines in table control dynamically
describe TABLE t_data lines line_count.
TC_DATA-lines = line_count + 10.
endmodule.
PAI:
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
LOOP WITH CONTROL TC_DATA.
    MODULE MODIFY_DATA.
ENDLOOP.
module MODIFY_DATA input.
WHEN 'CREATE'.
"subroutines are here, etc.
WHEN 'DELETE'.
WHEN 'BACK'.
LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
endmodule.
In my ABAP Debug, the value of SY-UCOMM is BLANK whenever I press Enter.
Thanks.

Hi
Your code seems to be rght only the MODIFY statament is useless:
module READ_DATA output.
READ TABLE T_ID_CHECK INTO WA_ID_CHECK INDEX TC_ID-current_line.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
    ZQID_CHECK-WERKS = WA_ID_CHECK-WERKS.
    ZQID_CHECK-MATNR = WA_ID_CHECK-MATNR.
    ZQID_CHECK-LICHA = WA_ID_CHECK-LICHA.
    ZQID_CHECK-LIFNR = WA_ID_CHECK-LIFNR.
ELSE.
    CLEAR ZQID_CHECK.
ENDIF.
endmodule.
Now before LOOP of PBO try to set the lines of table control to be display, I've created this report on my system and it works fine:
.CONTROLS T_CTRL TYPE TABLEVIEW USING SCREEN 100.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
          WERKS LIKE MARC-WERKS,

    ITAB-WERKS = '5010'.
    ITAB-MATNR = '1234567890'.
    ITAB-LIFNR = '0000000001'.
    APPEND ITAB.
ENDDO.
CALL SCREEN 100.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.

    MODULE READ_DATA.
ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.

Buttons and enter key problem

hello,
there are a few projects of enterprise quality which I am developing in java swing. I found out through research that many or rather most people involved with java believe that swing is ready for enterprise class robust desktop applications.
so I as the team leador am starting my new projects in java swing.
I personally find that the amount of java libraries present provide a rich set of functionality and it gives big mussle power to the developers.
I am only concerned about one problem which many of you might have solved.
I find that I have to hit the space bar instead of enter key to fire an action. in languages like vb I can press enter key to fire the click events. specially in menu items I certainly don't expect my clients to press the spacebar. besides there are many people who are so used to the keyboard and enter key in particular that it will be hard or rather next to impossible to change their habbits.
how can I make the menu items work with the enter key. I mean do I need to create the code for keypress events every time I also create an action performed method? or is there a way where I can do it without extra coding.
it is just that I don't want to right extra code for enter key along with click events.
one more important note.
I am a blind person and I use the access bridge technology of java.
so when I am involved in coding, I use the same.
so may be my problem isn't a problem in the first place.
kindly provide me some help
thanks
Krishnakant.

The enter-key works on menu-items in all my applications. It did so since I started with java few years ago.
Maybe some other problem (OS-specific) ?

Enter Key is not being accepted properly in the Applet

We have developed a Telnet application which is in form of an Applet. We are facing some problems with respect to that.
We are using Java 1.2.
When login sessions are launched, the login prompt is displayed.
After we enter the user id and press the "Enter" Key, the UI remains at the "user id" prompt and is not accepting the "Enter" Key.
As a result, we are not getting the password prompt and hence NE UI is not deing displayed.
This was verified with logs and found that the "Enter" key was interpreted as "char 7" instead of Ascii char 10(Enter Key).
This problem was observed in both IE and Netscape.
But this same code works fine when it is run as a Java application. Also the same applet works fine when viewed from the Applet Viewer.
Iam of the view that the issue may be due to the restrictions imposed by the browsers on the Java Applet.
Please give me suggestions to circumvent this problem ,if u have faced the same.
Thanks in advance,
Darshan

The reason why ENTER doesn't work is because it's reserved for the default button. The SPACEBAR does what you want.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/javax/swing/doc-files/Key-Metal.html#JButton
To change the key mappings, read up on JComponent.getActionMap(), JComponent.setActionMap() and the ActionMap class.

LM13: Verification field not cleared after [Enter] key

Hi Experts,
I'm facing the issue as stated in the OSS note 916654 - LM13: Verification field not cleared after [Enter] key. My current system is ECC, that is why the OSS is already applied to the ECC version. But the problem is, i still faced the problem stated in the OSS.
Symptom
In customizing:
- You have defined [ENTER] in destination screen 302 to SAVE items.
- You want to verify the destination bin information.
You use 'Confirm Transfer Order Clustered' RF transaction LM13.
You scan several SUs and press enter.
You press [F4-Next pushbutton] to confirm the associated TO(s).
In the destination screen 302, you scan the verification value for the first item and press [ENTER] key.
==> The item is confirmed correctly but when the system proposes the next item, the verification value of the first item is displayed.
Anyone know how to fix this issue? Pls help.
thanks
