Using "Enter /Return" Key to submit a query

Question

All:
I could not find any straight forward solution to my problem. I have report that has a search column (text) and I limit records based on the value entered in this text item. I have a "go" button that initiate the fetch. However, how do I achieve the same functionality when I press the enter key. Currently, when I press the enter key, it reports the following:
ERR-1777: Page 5 provided no page to branch to. Please report this error to your application administrator.
Restart Application
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Rajesh - If the only two ways to submit the page are to use the button or to press the Enter key in a text field, then you can simply remove the when-button-pressed condition from the page branch. Then the branch will fire now matter how the page is submitted. As it is now, the branch does not fire when the Enter key submits the page so the engine looks for the next branch that could be a candidate but fails to find one and you see the error message.
Sometimes you need a page that is submitted by the Enter key to be handled as if a certain button (or "request" value) were pressed. In these cases, you can use javascript to make the Enter key set the request value to your liking. One way is to put code like the following in the page's HTML Header attribute, using "GO" as the request value in this example:< script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function submitenter(e)
var keycode;
if (window.event) keycode = window.event.keyCode;
else if (e) keycode = e.which;
else return true;
if (keycode == 13)
   doSubmit('GO');
   return false;
else
   return true;
//-->
</script>With this code, a page submitted with the Enter key would have a request value of "GO" and could be treated the same way as if a button with a request value of "GO" submitted the page.
