How to define default Button?

Hi,

I have a page with entryfields, comboboxes etc and some buttons.
One button is the "Save" button.

I want that, if the user presses "return" somewhere at the page, the save Button is "pressed"/submitted.

How can I set the default button which is submitted when pressing the enter button?

Sabine,

in HTML, teh first submit Button is the one that gets activated when you
press enter. No Exceptions to that rule (other than a so called fix to
still render it first but reposition it using css...).

In Seaside, however, you can define a defaultCallback for a form. Maybe
that is something to look into. There is a nice (but maybe dated) post

Hi Sabine,

Is it an option to define the 'save' button as the submit button and the rest as simple buttons?
This is done by setting the type of the button.

Re: How to define default Button?

Hi Joachim and Johan,

I dont want to submit the page and I have n forms and buttons in various orders...

after googling for a while I found

html document addLoadScript: 'jQuery(document).keypress(function(e) {
if (e.which == "13") {
jQuery("#saveButton").click(); return false;
}
});'

as a working solution.
Now I only have to define #saveButton on each of my pages and thats all.

Re: How to define default Button?

and before triggering the save button, trigger change event of the element which has current focus.
otherwise last entry will be lost

html document addLoadScript: 'jQuery(document).keypress(function(e) {
if (e.which == "13") {
jQuery("*:focus").trigger(''change'');
jQuery("#saveButton").click(); return false;
}
});'
