I have the following simple javascript code, which handles the Return Key, I don't want to submit the form when the return key is pressed in the textbox.
All this works fine, but in Firefox, if i show an alert message, then it stops working and the form starts getting submitted, whereas the exact code without alert message works fine and stops the form from being submitted. I dont understand why alert is spoiling the party..
$("document").ready(function () {
$("#input1").keydown(OnKeyDown);
});
function OnKeyDown(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
// alert('this will fail'); // Adding alert makes the form submit
stopBubble(e);
return false;
}
}
function stopBubble (e) {
// If an event object is provided, then this is a non-IE browser
if (e && e.stopPropagation)
// and therefore it supports the W3C stopPropagation() method
e.stopPropagation();
else
// Otherwise, we need to use the Internet Explorer
// way of cancelling event bubbling
window.event.cancelBubble = true;
}
<input type="text" id="input1" value="">
I don't really know if the event is normalized or not. But this is how I have to do it for it to work in all browsers:
$(whatever).keypress(function (e) {
var k = e.keyCode || e.which;
if (k == 13) {
return false; // !!!
}
});
jQuery normalizes this already, you can just do:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#input1").keydown(OnKeyDown);
});
function OnKeyDown(e) {
if (e.which == 13) { //e.which is also normalized
alert('this will fail');
return false;
}
}
When you do return false
from a handler, jQuery calls event.preventDefault()
and event.stopPropgation()
internally already . You can also do the anonymous function version:
$(function () {
$("#input1").keydown(function() {
if (e.which == 13) return false;
});
});
textBox.onkeydown = function (e) {
e = e || window.event;
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
if (typeof (e.preventDefault) == 'function') e.preventDefault();
if (typeof (e.stopPropagation) == 'function') e.stopPropagation();
if (typeof (e.stopImmediatePropagation) == 'function') e.stopImmediatePropagation();
e.cancelBubble = true;
return false;
}
}
