    <p>I've searched for a solution to this issue all over the web. After no success, here I am. I have a form that where I have 3 fields that should contain data. Field 1 is the Zip Code, Field 2 and 3 are City and State respectively. </p> <p>The JS function getCityByZipHome and getStateByZipHome dynamically return the city and state and insert the values into the the city2 and state2 input fields.</p> <p>For whatever reason, when I submit the form via mouse-click.. I see the data via $_POST. If the users presses ENTER, the data is never captured and I never see that data from the hidden fields. </p> <p>Any idea what's wrong here? Note, I've tried almost all the event handlers onblur, onclick, onchange..etc. </p> <pre><code>&lt;form method="post" name="something" action="xxSome.php"&gt; &lt;div class="s_row"&gt; &lt;label for="zippy"&gt;Enter Zip Code&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input id="zipcode_home" tabindex="2" type="text" onkeypress="javascript:getCityByZipHome(document.getElementById('zipcode_home').value, this.form.elements['city3']);javascript:getStateByZipHome(document.getElementById('zipcode_home').value, this.form.elements['state3']);" name="zipcode_home"/&gt; &lt;input id="state3" name="state3"type="hidden"/&gt; &lt;input id="city3" name="city3" type="hidden"/&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Start Now!"/&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've tried adding onsubmit @ the form level as such:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form method="post" name="something" action="xxSome.php" onsubmit="javascript:getCityByZipHome(document.getElementById('zipcode_home').value, this.form.elements['city3']);javascript:getStateByZipHome(document.getElementById('zipcode_home').value, this.form.elements['state3']);"&gt; &lt;div class="s_row"&gt; &lt;label for="zippy"&gt;Enter Zip Code&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input id="zipcode_home" tabindex="2" type="text" name="zipcode_home"/&gt; &lt;input id="state3" name="state3"type="hidden"/&gt; &lt;input id="city3" name="city3" type="hidden"/&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Start Now!"/&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>And I've tried onblur without any luck @ the input level as such:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form method="post" name="something" action="xxSome.php"&gt; &lt;div class="s_row"&gt; &lt;label for="zippy"&gt;Enter Zip Code&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input id="zipcode_home" tabindex="2" type="text" onblur="javascript:getCityByZipHome(document.getElementById('zipcode_home').value, this.form.elements['city3']);javascript:getStateByZipHome(document.getElementById('zipcode_home').value, this.form.elements['state3']);" name="zipcode_home"/&gt; &lt;input id="state3" name="state3"type="hidden"/&gt; &lt;input id="city3" name="city3" type="hidden"/&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Start Now!"/&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>After all the messing around, I actually never solved the issue; rather, I disabled the ENTER key as a submit method.</strong> </p> <p>I have some pretty serious time constraints, but I'm sure this will come up later and I will definitely come back to this issue. </p>

    1. COWhat happens if you remove the `onkeypress`? Do you see the posted data? If so, there might be some preventDefault happening somewhere, or something like that.

    3. COdo you have firebug? If not get it and put a breakpoint in your methods, do your steps that are failing and see if they are getting called before the page submits when you hit enter. I tried with my sample and it worked. if you send your code i can test it with firebug if you dont know how to use it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
