TIP: Trigger button click on enter

Dick Honing

I would like to trigger the login button when a user clicks on the enter key in a password field.

I found the following code on w3schools:

var input = document.getElementById("passwordField");



    // Execute a function when the user releases a key on the keyboard

    input.addEventListener("keyup", function(event) {

        // Number 13 is the "Enter" key on the keyboard

        if (event.keyCode === 13) {

            // Cancel the default action, if needed

            event.preventDefault();

            // Trigger the button element with a click

            document.getElementById("loginButton").click();

        }

    });

Don't forget to specify the id's for the password field and login button, in this case 'passwordField' and 'loginButton'

click button when user clicks enter key in input field(s) ... or something similar

Hi again,

I'm not sure, is it a feature request for Cloud Backend Inputs?

@Wassim perhaps it's an idea, but that's up to you and the number of users this might be useful to ...
