Replaced the input box with a textarea.

[Meedle]

Now, I cannot get the textarea to submit upon someone pressing the enter
button.

I've tried the code from this page: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive
/index.php/t-52668.html

(pj59's post), but it didn't work.

I've tried putting the first half of the code in the index.lib.php, then in
the input.php, but neither one worked.

the code I have:

first half:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var isShift=null;
var isNN = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1);
var OP = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Opera")!=-1);
if(OP)isNN=true;
var key;
function shift(event){
key = (isNN) ? event.which : event.keyCode;
if (key==16)isShift=1;
}
function process(event){
key = (isNN) ? event.which : event.keyCode;
if(document.layers&&event.modifiers==4){
isShift=1;
}
if (key==13&&isShift!=1){
document.MsgForm.submit();
}
if (key!=16)isShift=null;
}
function retrieve(){
document.MsgForm.M.focus();
if(location.search.length>0){
blubb=unescape(location.search.split('=')[1]);
}
}
//-->
</script>

second part, integrated into the textarea:

<textarea NAME="M" onkeypress="process(event)" onkeydown="shift(event)" style="width:400px; height:35px; vertical-align: top; text-align: left" VALUE="<?php echo(htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($ValM))); ?>"<?php echo((isset($C) && $C != "") ? " style=\"color: $C;\"" : ""); ?>></textarea>

Obviously, I'm doing something wrong, but I'm completely clueless as to what.

So, I still haven't messed with it any in hopes of still getting some help.

First part should go in the header area of the same input.php and
handle_input.php (for IE an FF). Did you try that?

I'm not sure if that code works as expected in the first place... let me make
some tests myself.

[Ciprian Murariu]

It worked, but the correct code would be:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var isShift=null;
var isNN = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1);
var OP = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Opera")!=-1);
if(OP)isNN=true;
var key;
function shift(event){
key = (isNN) ? event.which : event.keyCode;
if (key==16)isShift=1;
}
function process(event){
key = (isNN) ? event.which : event.keyCode;
if(document.layers&&event.modifiers==4){
isShift=1;
}
if (key==13&&isShift!=1){
[b]document.forms['MsgForm'].submit();[/b]
}
if (key!=16)isShift=null;
}
function retrieve(){
[b]document.forms['MsgForm'].elements['M'].focus();[/b]
if(location.search.length>0){
blubb=unescape(location.search.split('=')[1]);
}
}
//-->
</script>

Note the bold lines.

This javascript code is too long I guess and it can be stripped out. Like you
don't need the retrieve function.

Note: try without adding it in handle_inputH.php - it should work in input.php
only.

[Meedle]

Hmm, I added it to input.php and handle_inputH.php

I tested it in Google Chrome first.

It did not work.

I decided to test it in IE and FF after that.

It worked in IE but not in FF.

Thank you for your help so far, though. It has helped me a bunch.

[Meedle]

Actually, the submit on enter function started to work in Google Chrome.
Mysterious, but nice.
