Tabbing to the submit button and using enter key to submit?

Forms Ideas

asked on May 28, 2014 • Show version history

My data entry users would like to be able to work through a form using keyboard only.

 

At present the Submit button on our published form doesn't accept focus when attempting to tab down to it from the last form field. This means the users can't submit the form using the enter key. 

 

It appears through testing that the browser is capable of this behavior, it's just not working on the Laserfiche Forms.

 

Can anyone explain to me how I can allow the Submit button to accept focus when tabbed to? 

 

Sorry if this is a silly question and I've missed something obvious. 

 

edited to add: using the enter key alone isn't working either (as that wasn't apparent from my initial post)

The following JavaScript function should let you attach an event that catches the Enter key being hit anywhere inside a named DIV, or you could change the selector to make it work on any element you want.

        $("#BasicSearchForm").keypress(function (e) {
            if ((e.which && e.which == 13) || (e.keyCode && e.keyCode == 13)) {
                BasicSearch_Click();
                return false;
            } else {
                return true;
            }
        });
