SuperSearch: hitting "return" in form with altered queryby LanX (Saint) |

After a partial search in SuperSearch hitting return seems to be bound to the first submit button <input type="submit" value="Next >" name="nx"> Unfortunately that means altering the query doesn't restart at the beginning of the DB after hitting return but continuing where the last query stopped. So it's necessary to click New <input type="submit" value="Search" name="go"> explicitly. I can't see an application for binding the return-key to "Next >" while it's handy after altering a form entry.¹ My suggestion would be to add a hidden <input type="submit" value="Search" name="go" style="display:none"> prior to <input type="submit" value="Next >" name="nx"> to change the default for return-key. This SO discussion shows different ways to do so how-to-submit-a-form-when-the-return-key-is-pressed I haven't tested yet...but I think we have enough HTML expertise in this board to find a solution! :)
Cheers Rolf (addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) ¹) for creating a keyboard submit you need to select a form element. The only way to select "next >" w/o clicking is to hit the "tab"-key. But in that case pressing "bar"-key has still the effect to continue the search. All other form elements should be bound to "Search" again.
