POEnter-key Prevention Javascript Not Working for JSF 1.1 in IE
text
Body
copied!<p><em>Notes on environment: JSF 1.1 using Infragistics component library.</em></p> <p>I'm using the following Javascript to <em>attempt</em> to prevent an 'Enter' keypress from submitting a form.</p> <pre><code>function disableEnterKey(e){ var key; if(window.event) key = window.event.keyCode; else key = e.which; return (key != 13); } </code></pre> <p>Then in the JSP, I have:</p> <pre><code><h:inputText id="an_id" value="#{bean.value}" onkeypress="return disableEnterKey(event);" /> </code></pre> <p>This seems to work flawlessly in Firefox and Google Chrome. I don't understand why it doesn't work with IE8. I'm stumped.</p> <p>I've tried using a Tomahawk <code><t:inputText/></code>, but that doesn't make a difference.</p> <p>I've tried putting something in the <code>onkeypress</code> handler for the parent <code><h:form></code> and/or the <code><body></code> element, but that doesn't seem to help either. And, I've tried using the <code>onkeydown</code>, but haven't seen a difference with that, either.</p> <p>The differential diagnosis that I think I have come up with is that it <em>may</em> have something to do with the Infragistics library. IG does add quite a bit of scripting to pages, but I'm not solid on how to debug Javascript effectively with IE8. This would be no problem to poke through with Firebug on FF, but I'm a bit stumped.</p> <p>Anyone have a similar experience? Know of a fix?</p>
