Using Enter key to submit a form, Attn: Didier

Hi,
I have an ADF form on my page and want to use Enter key to submit the form. I submit the form using a CommandLink which has a method bound to it as its action in a managed bean. I have set submitCL as the Id of this CommandLink and has set this in my form:
<af:form defaultCommand="submitCL">
but the Enter does not work. I'm using IE 7.0 and JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.
Thanks in advance,
S/\EE|)

Hi Saeed,
not sure if this is related or not, but I would test it with another browser as IE is not supported. See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/10.1.3.3/install.html#browsers
Also, when the command button is in the header facet of a table or treeTable, the value of defaultCommand must also contain the table or treeTable ID.
For example: <af:form defaultCommand="theTreeTableId:submitCL" ...>Regards,
Didier.

Enter key not working in forms 10g

Hi guys,
Enter key to select a form is not working
on my application.
I have to double click the form to open it using the mouse.
Then if we try to exit we have to press exit that many number of times as we have pressed enter key.
So it seems to be storing the key processes.
We are using forms 10g.
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Rohan

Fixed.
Changed KB.
However, this is still strange as the old KB was working fine in other applications.

Why I cannot tab to enter instead of using enter key?

For example. When I want to log in a website that I have an account. After typing username and password, I can not tab by trackpad to enter. I have to use enter key to login. Why? Have how to fix that?

Does your cursor work? I take it this is only a problem at login. You can move the cursor,but nothing happens when you try clicking on it? Have you tried a pram reset. Command/Option/P/R keys at startup for three chimes.

How to select an item from a dropdown menu using Enter key

A website I frequently use opens with a dropdown menu. Using my former browser, I was able to select the an item from the dropdown list by hitting the first letter with my keyboard and then hitting Enter. (Think of entering an address and selecting TX from a dropdown menu of states. Often you can hit T twice to get to TX and then the Enter key will advance the cursor to the zip code field.) Since converting to Firefox, the Enter key no longer works to advance to the next screen...I now have to move the mouse to a "Go" button and click it after selecting the desired item from the downdown menu. It's a small thing, but constantly switching back and forth between mouse and keyboard is becoming annoying. Is there an option in Firefox to select items simply by highlighting them in the dropdown menu and hitting the Enter key, instead of having to use the mouse to click a "Go" button? Thanks

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

'ENTER' key for Submit Button

Hi,
I have 1 inputfield , 1 dropdown and 1 submit button in a page. I want to execute submit button always when you click 'ENTER'.
Now when i click enter from inputField it process something and in background there is no event triggered.But from dropdownbox nothing happens when i click 'ENTER' key.
Is there any way to assigne 'ENTER' key to the submit button(<htmlb:button) always?
Thanks in advance
AP

Hi,
It looks like SubmitOnEnter is not available in my verions of htmlb. I just looked into some javacode,
I have 2 page, Initial and Report,
Initial page has the code,
<script>
document.onkeydown=function(){
if(event.keyCode==13){document.forms.initial.submit()}}
</script>
    <htmlb:form id     = "initial"
                method = "post"
                action = "Report.htm" >\
      <htmlb:inputField id            = "TranNumber"
                        type          = "string"
                        value         = "<%= INIT-TranNumber %>" />
      <htmlb:button id      = "SUBMITVALUES"
                    text    = "EXECUTE"
                    onClick = "HandleSubmit" />
</htmlb:form>
Report page captures it as,
CLASS CL_HTMLB_MANAGER DEFINITION LOAD.
IF event_id = CL_HTMLB_MANAGER=>EVENT_ID.
DATA: EVENT TYPE REF TO CL_HTMLB_EVENT.
EVENT = CL_HTMLB_MANAGER=>GET_EVENT( runtime->server->request ).
IF EVENT IS NOT INITIAL.
    CASE EVENT->ID.
      WHEN 'SUBMITVALUES'.
        DATA: TranNumber TYPE REF TO CL_HTMLB_INPUTFIELD.
         TranNumber ?= CL_HTMLB_MANAGER=>GET_DATA(
                      request = runtime->server->request
                      name    = 'inputField'
                      id      = 'TranNumber').
    ENDCASE.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Basically the no event is not fired. so it is not coming into the Case.
How to handle this?
Thank you

Af:inputListOfValues sets value of first item in result set when using enter key or tab and component set to autosubmit=true

I'm using JDev 11.1.1.6 and when I type a value into an af:inputListOfValues component and hit either the enter key or the tab key it will replace the value I entered with the first item in the LOV result set. If enter a value and just click out of the af:inputListOfValues component it works correctly. If I use the popup and search for a value it works correctly as well. I have a programmatic view object which contains a single transient attribute (this is the view object which is used to create the list of value component from) and then I have another entity based view object which defines one of its attributes as a list of value attribute. I tried using an entity based view object to create the LOV from and everything works as expected so I'm not sure if this is a bug when using programmatic view objects or if I need more code in the VOImpl. Also, it seems that after the first time of the value being replaced by the first value in the result set that it will work correctly as well. Below are some of the important code snippets.
Also, it looks like it only doesn't work if the text entered in the af:inputListOfValues component would only have a single match returned in the result set. For instance given the result set in the code: Brad, Adam, Aaron, Fred, Charles, Charlie, Jimmy
If we enter Cha, the component works as expected
If we enter A, the component works as expected
If we enter Jimmy, the component does not work as expected and returns the first value of the result set ie. Brad
If we enter Fred, the component does not work as expected and returns the first value of the result set ie. Brad
I also verified that I get the same behavior in JDev 11.1.1.7

I have found a solution to this issue. It seems that when using a programmatic view object which has a transient attribute as its primary key you need to override more methods in the ViewObjectImpl so that it knows how to locate the row related to the primary key when the view object records aren't in the cache. This is why it would work correctly sometimes but not all the time. Below are the additional methods you need to override. The logic you use in retrieveByKey would be on a view object by view object basis and would be different if you had a primary key which consisted of more than one attribute.
@Override
protected Row[] retrieveByKey (ViewRowSetImpl viewRowSetImpl, Key key, int i) {
    return retrieveByKey(viewRowSetImpl, null, key, i, false);
@Override
protected Row[] retrieveByKey (ViewRowSetImpl viewRowSetImpl, String string, Key key, int i, boolean b) {
    RowSetIterator usersRowSetIterator = this.createRowSet(null);
    Row[] userRows = usersRowSetIterator.getFilteredRows("UserId", key.getAttribute(this.getAttributeIndexOf("UserId")));
    usersRowSetIterator.closeRowSetIterator();
    return userRows;
@Override
protected Row[] retrieveByKey (ViewRowSetImpl viewRowSetImpl, Key key, int i, boolean b) {
    return retrieveByKey(viewRowSetImpl, null, key, i, b);

Navigation using 'Enter' key

hi everyone
I would like to ask if there is a way to make navigation between text fields possible by 'ENTER' key.
for example if we have a tabular form and we want to navigate between fields by 'ENTER' exactly like the 'TAB' key, is it possible??
Thanks alot

Use Enter key to execute report.

I have a report that needs to be executed in background.It has a selection screen.The program should get executed when user presses 'ENTER' while he is inside the selection screen.At present,when 'ENTER' key is pressed,only validation is done.To execute we are either pressing 'F8' key or click execute button in screen.
Now how to trap the 'ENTER' key press in a report?

Hi Jayaprakash,
All PAI processing will depend on the Function Code that has been triggered at the selection screen.
The ENTER key has no function code, whereas the "Execute" button has the function code 'ONLI'. SO what can be done is, when the user hits the ENTER key, we can programmatically set the function code to 'ONLI'. I shall give you a very small peice of code to illustrate my point.
===================================
tables sscrfields.
parameters p_vblen like vbak-vbeln obligatory.
at selection-screen.
if sscrfields-ucomm eq space.
sscrfields-ucomm = 'ONLI'.
endif.
start-of-selection.
write p_vblen.
===================================
The above code will trigger the report output on hitting the ENTER key at the selection screen.
What you only have to note here is that unlike with screen processing, in selection-screen processing, the function code will be made available in the field UCOMM of the structure SSCRFIELDS. However, you will have to declare this structure in your program ( using the TABLES statement as shown above ).
Hope the explanation has been clear enough to drive the point home for you. Please get back to me otherwise.
Regards,
Anand Mandalika.

Using "Enter Key" on Button launches new window

I've written a Google Search portlet using the Google API. The user enters a Search Term in a text box and then clicks on a button to begin the search. It works fine as long as the user clicks the button with the mouse. However, I'm finding that many times they just use the enter key thinking its also mapped to the button. The search works, but now displays the results in a new page leaving the portal. How can I get the "Enter Key" to operate the same way as mouse clicking on the button?
Paul

Here's what I have in my Page_Load (if you're using aspx) that traps the Enter key. In my case I just ignore it, but you can obviously replace the function body to do whatever you want.
this.RegisterStartupScript("captureEnterKey", "<script for=document event=onkeydown>if (event.keyCode == 13) {return false;}</script>");

You can use a keyboard hook, although I don't have much experience in this area.

Rename files using Enter key

Using the Enter key to rename files and folders works only with items in the desktop. Everywhere else I need to use Command+Enter. Any one experiencing this behavior? Any ideas on how to make it work as it should (only Enter needed)?

Using Enter key from numeric keypad to enter and switch to next element in an array control

Hello all,
I have a question regarding a simple but annoying problem, of which I did not found a solution yet.
I have written an application in which I have to enter data manually in a numeric array control.
If I want to enter the value and go to the next element in the array control, i am forced to use the Tab key on my keyboard, or risk RSI using the mouse.
How can I assign the Enter key of the numeric keypad section of my keyboard to to the same as the Tab key?
Kind regards,
Raymond
