Search Form and Enter Key

[fmwebby]

I've created a search form with the FileMaker PHP API as part of an upgrade from a .fp5/CDML site. In the previous site you could click the Enter key on the keyboard and it would execute the search/submit the form if you had clicked outside of any of the search fields (some drop down lists, some normal fields).

In the new PHP site the Enter key does not do this when you have clicked outside of the search fields. It does work if the cursor is inside a normal field but not when you click outside.

Does anyone know how to get this functionality back so the site continues to function as before in regards to clicking the Enter key on the keyboard when you have clicked outside of any search fields?

Thanks,

Steve

it's probably javascript. find a web site that will submit a form by hitting enter without being clicked into a form field, then examine the source to find out how they did it.

or... ask this question on a javascript form.

I don't see how this would have anything to do with the FileMaker API for php itself.
