Question

Pressing Enter in a Custom Search form in Weblink pops up the Date Picker instead of submitting the form.

If a custom search form in WebLink has a DatePicker option, whenever the user presses enter, the date picker pops up.

Ideally, we'd like this to submit the form and allow the null value to go through just as if the user clicked on the Submit button.

Appreciate the idea Wes!

I expanded on it to add the desired behavior. Now when users press enter, they will submit the search instead of pop-up the date picker.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $('#form1').keypress(function(e){
        if (e.keyCode == 10 || e.keyCode == 13) 
           {
	     e.preventDefault();
	    $('input[type="submit"]').click();
	 }
    });
</script>

In the meantime you can override the "Enter" key issue by opening up "CustomSearch.aspx" and adding the following code right above the "</body>" tag:

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $('#form1').keypress(function(e){
            if (e.keyCode == 10 || e.keyCode == 13) 
                e.preventDefault();
        });
    </script>

Save the file and then reload the page.

Hi there,

I have several search forms and I want to know whether I should replace 'form1' from your code to my search form name.

Also, when I pressed 'Enter', the field input are being cleared.

Thanks to advise.

Will WebLink 10 be updated to make the submit button the default and not the date picker button?
