[WEB4LIB] lookin for a Javascripter'

[William Moore]

Steve,

In order for a form to respond to an enter key the form must either have an
action statement or a submit button in the form. Your existing code had
neither. If you use the following in place of your code then it shall do
what you want it to:
      <FORM name="InputForm" onSubmit="StartSearch()">
        Search for: <INPUT size=15 name="SearchWords"> in:
        <SELECT name="SearchSelect">
          <OPTION selected>Google
          <OPTION>Yahoo
          <OPTION>Altavista
          <OPTION>Excite
          <OPTION>Lycos
          <OPTION>InfoSeek
          <OPTION>Magellan
          <OPTION>Webcrawler
          <OPTION>LookSmart
          <OPTION>Deja News
          <OPTION>MetaCrawler
          <OPTION>HotBot
        </SELECT>
        <INPUT type="submit" value="Search">
      </FORM>

Subject: [WEB4LIB] lookin for a Javascripter'


I have a page up at

http://reference.camden.lib.nj.us/sgtest/ which uses Javascript pretty
heavily. Now to be quite honest I'm not a JS person in any right, but the
scripts on the page are accomplishing all but one thing that I need to do.

Question: Does anyone know a way to ensure that when searching the "Search
engine" area on the top of the page that pressing the enter key on the
keyboard will run the search instead of just loading the top frame into the
bottom frame.

..help me today and I'll promise to take a JavaScript class tommorrow :-)
