an Editbox issue

Post by jPaul »

Hi Everybody,

I have an Editbox.
When I enter data, such as Paul and press the <Enter> key, there is no reaction.
I will need to press the <Tab> key to accept the input and move to the next Editbox.

What do I need to do, to have the <Enter> key function to accept the input and move to the next Editbox?
Many Thanks,
-Paul-

It is not really a issue. The main purpose of the "Enter" key is to finish what your are doing in a form it is generally means to submit the form not to move focus to the next input. The purpose of the "Tab" is to place focus on the next input and the next and next till it reaches the submit then you can use the "Enter" key. It is possible using javascript/jquery on a "Enter: key to move between inputs which you will need to implement.

What you described is not standard HTML behavior, so if you want to this functionality then you will need to implement it with scripting.
