Report · May 08, 2006

ok guys , here is the Dilema .
I have three button in my Paye of type="button" so what i want to do is whenever user press Enter on the Key board then one of the button let say 'search' get focus and function corresponding to that button should get invoked .

i know it will be some thing like

if (window.event.keyCode == 13)
{
// what ever .
}
but where actaully i have to place it i mean what event will invoke it in the page

Or How to make a Default Button in coldfusion ?

any idea ?

Instead of having type=button, have type=submit.

Make your js run when your form is submitted.
<form onsubmit="your js function">

Dan in ASP there is Code Available to make button A default one . i was wondering is there any thing like that in coldfusion also ?

Getting down to basics, you say your form has three buttons. What do they do?

I don't understand the concept of a default button. Could you explain it in less than 100 words?

Dan I think i Did it . to make a button default one can add this code in the <body>
so now when enter will be hit this function will execute .

<script>
document.onkeydown = function ()
{
if (window.event.keyCode == 13 ' && document.form.buttonname.value){
//whatever
}

}
</script>

Here is another variation... (same result)

<script language="javascript">
function key() { if (window.event.keyCode == 13) { document.getElementById("button1").focus(); } }
document.onkeypress=key;
</script>
<html><body><input type="button" id="button1" value="one" /><input type="button" id="button2" value="two" /><input type="button" id="button3" value="three" /></body></html>
