Question

I have a number of auto-complete fields on my page with a submit button. I know on a text field there is an option called “Submit when Enter pressed” which works fine however this option is not available on these fields.

I have looked at a couple of other forum posts, this one i felt i nearly solved it however when i pressed any key the action fired which was wrong..

Can anyone help? How can i submit a page on enter using an auto-complete field?

<script type="text/javascript" src="#APP_IMAGES#jquery-1.8.2.min.js">  
$('#P2_DOOR_NUMBER').keyup(function(e) {  
if (e.keyCode == '13')  
    $('#P2_GO').trigger('click');  
});  
</script>

Answer 1

Can you not simply use JQuery to bind your input field ? :

$('#YOUR_ITEM_ID').keyup(function (e) {
    if (e.keyCode === 13) {
        apex.submit({...});
    }
});

Of course you can do it using a dynamic action.
