Pressing GO on virtual keyboard submits form the wrong way

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a form in iui.
2. Enter values into your fields.
3. Press "GO" on you keyboard instead of the Submit button

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- I would expect the form to submit the same as when you hit the Submit
button. Hitting "GO" Submits the form outside of iui.js so you have a page
with no CSS.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
iui-0.1.3, Tomcat 6, Mac OS X 10.5.2

Please provide any additional information below.

I am having the same problem...  I do not _self as a target though, everything 
looks correct on my form.  
However, if you hit the go button on the virtual keyboard, no iui.js

OK, this is probably on me also.  This behavior only occurs when the form is in 
a <ul> tag (which I didn't intend 
for it to be).  Once I pulled it out of the <ul> block it behaves as expected.  
The virtual keyboard does not go 
away on it's own, but I think I saw a workaround for that somewhere...

I'm having the same problem, but my form is not in a ul.  Would definitely 
appreciate a fix.  thanks!

same here, html looks like this:
 <a class="whiteButton" type="submit" href="#">Send</a>

no ul around it.

I'm having de the same problem. My form is not in a ul, is in a div, but I 
think that 
this is not important. When I press 'GO' the form submits whitout capture the 
event 
and no call the submitForm() function. Then, the result page is load without 
styles 
(css).

Is there a temporal solution?

I response myself. There is a temporal solution.

In the input field what I press 'GO' and the form submits, I've added the next 
javascript code:
                onKeyPress="return disableEnterKey(event)"
And then, this function in a js file:

     function disableEnterKey(e){
        var key;
        if(window.event)
            key = window.event.keyCode;
        else
            key = e.which;
        if(key == 13 || key == 10)
            return false;
        else
            return true;
      }

The key valor need to capture is 10, 13 is a normal enter.

It works in my webapp.

Bye.

the go button is trigering the submit handler, so i hook up to the submit event 
and
make an ajax form submit, i also check that the form has the dialog class so i 
not
mess with another forms. Just add this code to iui.js at around line 179 and 
add the
"dialog" class to the forms that you want to submit via ajax when enter (Go) is 
pressed

    addEventListener("submit", function(event) {
        if (hasClass(findParent(event.target, "form"), "dialog")) {
            submitForm(findParent(event.target, "form"));
            event.preventDefault();
        }

    }, true);

if someone need it i could submit as a patch

I have the same issue. I could not get sergi.bc's fix to work properly, it only 
worked within non iPhone browsers, still allowed to submit GO on iphone. Using 
jokin.c's fix did work fine, however when the ajax event happens (ie: scroll 
left to 
the new window content) it left the keyboard visible as well as the cursor from 
the 
previous field.

Is there a way to "hide" or tell the keyboard to go away?

ps: thanks again jokin, thats a great help :)

Just to answer my own question, i added the following to the FORM tag which 
appears 
to work.

onSubmit="document.getElementById('fieldID').blur()"

Thanks everyone!

I was thinking that the blur function should remove the iphone virtual 
keyboard, but 
I couldn't find a way to get the currently selected element, so I finished 
calling 
the blur function to every input in the encodeForm function that it's called on 
the 
form submit. 

about line 300:

function encodeForm(form) {
        function encode(inputs) {
            for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; ++i) {
                if (inputs[i].name){
                    args.push(inputs[i].name + "=" + escape(inputs[i].value));
                    inputs[i].blur();
                    }
            }
        }

        var args = [];
        encode(form.getElementsByTagName("input"));
        encode(form.getElementsByTagName("select"));
        return args;
    }

this works for me.

in form HTML:
.....
<input type="text" name="k" id="k" value=""/>
.....

in iui.js:
....
function showForm(form)
{
    form.k.focus();

    form.onsubmit = function(event)
    {
        form.k.blur();
        event.preventDefault();
        submitForm(form);
    };

    form.onclick = function(event)
    {
        if (event.target == form && hasClass(form, "dialog"))
            cancelDialog(form);
    };
}
.......

Thanks all, I was having the same problem.  Jokin.c's solution in comment 8 
worked, but 
then I had the problem with the keyboard sticking around.  Andrewsteed's 
solution in 
comment 10 took care of that follow-up.  Phew!

Comment 11 solved it for me. Only I placed it inside submitForm():

function submitForm(form)
{
        var inputs = form.getElementsByTagName('input');
        for (i=0 ; i<inputs.length; i++){
            inputs[i].blur();
        }
    iui.showPageByHref(form.action, encodeForm(form), form.method || "POST");
}

Thanks jokin

sergi.bc, you are a genius. I kept capturing key 13 and it wouldn't work on 
iphone.
