action in a submit button is not triggered on IE
------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-771
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-771
Project: MyFaces
Type: Bug
Components: Implementation
Versions: 1.1.0
Environment: linux 2.6.9-11 running java 1.5.0_05-b05
internet explorer 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
Reporter: Joris Verschoor
We have a form with:
* a submit button (commandButton, type="submit") with an action
(action="#{bean.go}")
* a single textinput field (single textbox is key)
* several selectboxes
If you press enter, when the textbox has focus, it's expected to submit the
first submitbutton.
This works fine under firefox. However, under IE, when you press enter, yuo get
a different results than clicking the submit button.
This results in unexpected behaviour: Because the name/value pair is not
submitted by pressing enter, myfaces does not know that the button was clicked,
and therefore does not invoke the action (bean.go())
The problem is also described:
http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/www/formquestion.html
The input pixel image solution did not work for us, but we've found another way:
At the beginning of the form, we've put:
<f:verbatim>
<input type="text" name="input_for_enterkey_submit" style="display: none;">
</f:verbatim>
The myfaces renderer should count the number of textinputs, and if there is
only one textinput, it should create a hidden textinput.
