Yikes - hit enter too fast on that one...

I am trying to set up a query input form to submit when the user hits enter using the code above. This works fine out of aware, but in the app the parameters are appended ot a URL and you get bounced to the log in screen.

Anyone have an alternate method suggestions?

Do not use "submit" for this. Try using a "button" type with "onclick" instead of "onsubmit"

I use onclick currently, what I was looking for was a way to allow the form to trigger when the user hits enter after entering text into the search box.

I also tried button using onkeyup to set focus on the button but no luck with that either.

Thanks anyhow.

seems like the issue is in using a <form> since the method below )using button in conjunction with onkeydown instead of onclick to replace submit) also works outside of aware, but inside has the same effect.
