_keyPress() does not work for enter

JulianB

Hello,

I'm trying toget my sahi script to press enter.
I have found the following solutions in the forums and documentation:
_keyPress(_textbox("__ac_name"), 13);
_keyPress(_textbox("__ac_name"), [13,13]);

Unfortunately the both don't work (and yes the textbox accessor is correct). What can I try instead?

OS: Windows XP
Browsers: Mozilla Firefox 6.0.2 and PhantomJS 1.1.0
Sahi Build: 2011-07-19

Hi Julian,

keypress 13 does not work if the element does not have an explicit keypress handler.

Here is an example :

_navigateTo("http://www.google.com");
_setValue(_textbox("q"),"Sahi testing tool");
_keyPress(_textbox("q"),13);

Let me know if you face any problem

Okay, the example works. For me, that makes it all the more confusing.

The textbox where I try to "press" enter is in a form element.

Most Browsers have a specific behaviour when you press enter in a form. I have changed this behaviour using a jQuery function. And I want to test if it works.
To be honest, I don't have any idea what an explicit keypress handler is, so I'm guessing, the element doesn't have one...

Could you please give me some pointer on how to proceed?

Thank you!

Julian
