Hi - I have the following problem: my app has a form that acts as a filter to a table on the page, so that the user can search any value in the table (via text box) or use select lists for more specific search. The form is being observed by an observe_form helper that runs every 1-2 seconds or so. It''s all still in testing. I noticed that when I hit return while in the textbox, the form posts and redirects me to an action unknown page. I want to remove that functionality so that hitting enter wont do anything -- any idea how to do it? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

How about removing form tags - just have the field and the observe_field .... this might not be valid html - not sure about that.

I believe if you put a textarea in your form, the browser will not submit the form if you hit the enter key. It depends on which browser you are using though.

Create a form without a submit tag. Put in another control on the
web page that does $(''id_of_my_form'').submit(); using a
javascript
onclick event or whatever.

You can add Javascript to check for the value of the key pressed and ignore it if it is the Enter key. I had to do the exact same thing for the Backspace key not long ago, which was working as the Back icon in some instances. I have a sample but not here. I could give it to you if you still need it tonight when I get home. Pepe On Dec 30, 5:16 am, Mukund <marut...-/E1597aS9LQAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Create a form without a submit tag.

The submission happens when you hit enter whilst inside the text field -- I think it''s something most people do when searching something > think of every visit you made to a search engine''s page... Rails form_for might have this built in, since it immediately looks for ''create'' action when hitting enter inside the text field. I thought about simply redirecting it to the same action that filters the form (which is actually called via observe_form tag nearby). I''m very new to rails, so I''m not sure how to call the action while retaining the same view. Here''s a brief rundown of my code: # view <% form_for :person, :html => { :id => ''people_form'' } -%> <%= f.select :id, @people.collect {|p| [p.name, p.id]} %> <%= f.select :gender, [[''Male'',''M''],[''Female'',''F'']] %> <%= f.text_field :search, :size => 20 %> <% end -%> <%= observe_form :people_form, :frequency => 2, :update => ''people_table'', :url => { :action => ''search_form'', :only_path => false } %> <div id="people_table"> <table> <%= render :partial => ''person'' %> <!--people rows are drawn from here --> </table> </div> # controller def search_form #... get all search params and store in cond @people = Person.find(:all, :conditions => cond) render :partial => ''person'' if request.xml_http_request? end How would I call the search_form function on form submit resulting in the same view being rendered (similar to what observe_form does)? I tried adding :action => ''search_form'' to the form_for tag, but it then looks for a view of the same name.. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

form_for results in a POST operation. You are checking for request.xhr? in your controller to render the partial. Use remote_form_for instead to get a XHR request. Pressing an enter key in a text field doesn''t submit a form. The tags don''t add that in.

Using firebug I still see it''s getting a 404 error when I hit enter in the text field. so I''m not sure what''s submitting the form on enter.. Also, I''m afraid I''m not sure what you mean with the XHR part - should I just change render :partial => ''person'' if request.xml_http_request? to render :partial => ''person'' now that remote_form_for submits an ajax request?
