Pressing enter on form with commandButton not working in IE

[Swapnil]

Hi,

    Pressing enter key on form with commandButton not working in IE, but it works fine in firefox. Its a search box and when I type something I want to hit enter to initiate the search. Any pointers...that I can try...

[Swapnil]

Now I tried using inputText and onKeyEvent, even this worked in firefox but not in IE

Hi Swapnil,

   Try the following code in input text (Assuming you have "Go" button for search)

<apex:inputText value="{!searchKey}" onkeyup="initiateSearch()"/>
<apex:commandButton id="gobtn" value="Go" action="{!performSearch}"/>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function initiateSearch(){
       var goBtn = document.getElementById('{!$Component.gobtn}');
       if(window.event.keyCode == 13){
           goBtn.click();
       }
    }
</script>

window.event.keyCode == 13
