Stick autocomplete=off in your input tag and that should do it input type=text name=login autocomplete=off / Though this might cause XHTML validation to fail if that's an issue From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com on behalf of rob303 Sent: Tue 20/01/2009 16:40 To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Re: Identify last keeypess Thanks again.

Rob,
Is this some sort of autocomplete text box or is it a select input?

Hi,
I've been searching the web for an answer to this but haven't been
able to find one.
I have a form which is using an image as it's submit button and I want
users to be able to submit the form by pressing enter. Simple enough:
// submit the login form if the user hits enter
$('.login_input').keypress(function(event) {
if(event.keyCode == 13) {
$('#login').submit();
}
});
That works fine. However, if the user is presented with a list of
options for the text input by their browser and they use the up and
down arrows keys to highlight, then enter to select an option the form
gets submitted. Not ideal! So, my question is how can I identify the
last key press before the user hits enter? Ideally my logic will be
something like:
$('.login_input').keypress(function(event) {
if(LAST KEYPRESS IS NOT UP OR DOWN ARROW) {
if(event.keyCode == 13) {
$('#login').submit();
}
}
});
Hopefully, that makes sense! Many thanks in advance for any help.
Rob.

[jQuery] Re: Identify last keeypess
Hi James,
Thanks for the reply. It's just a standard text input:
input class=login_input type=text name=user value= /
When the user clicks and starts to type the browser may, depending on
what's been entered before, give a list of options. Some users might
use the down or up arrow keys to highlight one of the options and then
hit submit to select it. This, I think, is standard browser behaviour
- unless I have it wrong? Unfortunately for me, hitting enter at that
point will submit the form.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Rob.

[jQuery] Re: Identify last keeypess
haven't tested it, but what happens if you try:
var lastKeyCode = 0;
// submit the login form if the user hits enter
$('.login_input').keypress(function(event) {
if(event.keyCode == 13 lastKeyCode != UP lastKeyCode != DOWN ) {
$('#login').submit();
}
lastKeyCode = event.keyCode;
});

On a side note...
Do you want/need autocomplete becasue it is possible to stop a textfield being
capable of autocomplete. I ask simply becasue your example uses a login field
and sometimes it's not security concious to allow autocomplete on some login
fields.
Otherwise you'll just have to log what key was pressed in an external variable
EVERYTIME a key is pressed and check that variale at the start of every
keypress event.
