[SOLVED] Search Option

[ballouta]

Hello

 

I saw websites where you write smthg in the search field and press enter for begin search instead of using a 'go' button.

How this can be done?!

 

thank you

as long as you have a submit button in your form

Enter will work

 

 

or at least it always has been that way with me

[ballouta]

yes i know, but there are some sites where there's no a submit button

[Zane]

you could look into the option of using onKeyup

Ya, they could be using 'onkeyup' with a check to see if the key pressed is the enter key. If it is, then it submits.

 

This isn't a good method though, because it won't work if your users have javascript turned off. If you are going to use this method, then you should add a submit button, then hide the submit button with javascript when the page loads, so that users with javascript turned off can still use the form.
