I want to have a text-input node respond to me pressing 'enter' without making it a form...

[ovigo22]

OnKeyUp or something

[Poolkop]

Why not make it a form?

[Klimapol]

Define "respond"

[montanarry]

Onkeyup

[optomeb]

I dont need it, and dont want it to reload the page. Klimapol: respond as in simulate a button-click

[montanarry]

= someFunction that will check if it was enter... and then if so do something

[Klimapol]

What happens when the button is clicked though?

[optomeb]

montanarry, k, 'll try that
Klimapol, it works ;-P

[Klimapol]

What works how?

[montanarry]

[Poolkop]

optomeb, If you want it to get data, then you should use a form. Ever heard of gracefull fallback?

[Klimapol]

You keep glossing over the important part

[montanarry]

optomeb, you dont have to use a form just the <input> but i suggest you use a <form> and <input > in it

[optomeb]

montanarry, how can I not let it reload the page when using a form?

[montanarry]

.. dont put the Submit stuff

[Klimapol]

You can catch the submit event, cancel it, and then use XHR instead

[montanarry]

Or not even put it

[Klimapol]

Of course then you need a protocol for recieving feedback via XHR and knowing what to do with it

[montanarry]

I dont know if they do submit if you wont put a <input type=SUBMIT>

[Koplaf]

optomeb, You could set it up so that if the user has JS, then the submit action gets blocked, but you does some XMLHTTPReq stuff to get the job done.
If there is no JS, then the submit will do it's magic.

[optomeb]

Action is required according to w3

[Koplaf]

On the server side, you'll hook them into the same functions, so you won't haveot know the difference.

[montanarry]

optomeb, then also put onSubmit="return false"
Or something like that
but i dont know exact

[Klimapol]

montanarry, no
you'd attach an event listener
Cancel the event
And then do XHR stuff instead
Of course then you have to know how to use XHR and what to do with the response
