[SOLVED] Image Sumit With Enter Button

[phpretard]

I have form using an image as a submit button.

 

It won't submit when I press enter...only if I click the button.

 

This may not be a PHP help but I figured I throw it out here and see if anyone could point me in the right direction.

 

I've been all over Google and the only reference I could find was standard type='submit'.

 

...and yes

if (isset(I_Know_y)){
blah

[grim1208]

post the code you are using for the page please

[phpretard]

Thanks for the quick response.

 

// FORM PAGE

<form action='SUBMITPAGE' method=post>
<input type='text' name='PrimSearch' /> 
<type='image' src='/images/search.gif' name='MainSearch' /></td>
</form>


// SUBMIT PAGE

if (isset($_POST['MainSearch_y'])){

echo "Enter Button Won't Work";

}

I had the same problem but couldn't figure it out either. BTW that should be 

 

<input type='image' src='/images/search.gif' name='MainSearch' />

[grim1208]

Is this the actual code you are using?

 

1) for your button, you have <type='image' src='/images/search.gif' name='MainSearch' /> it should have input before type to look like this <input type='image' src='/images/search.gif' name='MainSearch' />

 

2)Submitpage, doesn't have an extension on it, such as php, html

 

I am sure you just threw that together for example, but def. make sure you are still using <input not just <type

 

I have tested w/ <input in front in Firefox, and works when you hit enter on the button

[Andy-H]

<style>

input.Image {

width: width_px;

height: height_px;

border: 0px;

background-image: url('/images/search.gif') center center;

}

</style>

 

<input type='submit' value="" class="Image" /> ??

Andy-H: I don't get it?

 

Yes I am using <input...

 

There was a lot of useless info to post (my bad).  I should mention it works great when the image is "clicked".

 

It does work in firefox but...I wish everyone used firefox.

 

Any work around for IE?

I can at least tell you why - for the enter key to submit a form, the current "focus" must be the submit button. How you can solve this can probably be found through searching the Internet.

[phpretard]

I have been searching the internet for 2 hours and nothing refers to an image as the submit obj.

 

So should I $rephrase the question?

 

if ($rephrase=='Yes'){$question="How can I force the focus?";}

else {echo"beat it with this question!";}

[phpretard]

I have come up with this...

 

 
onKeyDown=\"if(event.which==13||event.keyCode==13){alert('Please Click The Search Button')}\"

 

I was hope for a real solution.

It's got absolutely nothing to do with the form of the 'submit' thing. I searched the internet for 2 seconds for "submit form on enter javascript".

It turns out the browser action changes if there is a single text field or if there are more than one. If you add a second text field to your test code, it will probably stop working in the browser that it seems to be working in now.

 

Here is a link I found (among the thousands that a search on how to do this common task will find) that shows how to force the enter key to submit a form - http://jennifermadden.com/javascript/stringEnterKeyDetector.html

OH Well...
