I have an edit box which is used for searching the site.  This is mapped to a scoped variable within the session scope.  Next to it is an image (of a magnifying glass) with an onclick event assigned to it which opens an xpage called xSearch.

 

The onclick event is a http post request which saves the session variable so on the page load, it can be used as the search term.

 

What I want to do is check for the enter key being pressed in the text box and perform exactly the same event.  Checking for the return key is done on the client side using the onkeypress event handler and checking for keyCode==13.  I could do location.assign('xSearch.xsp') and pass the search term as a parameter in an http get request but it'd be much neater to trigger the same even as that of the image.

 

Has anybody done this?  I see from the page source that theres the following code for the image:

 

 XSP.attachEvent("view:_id1:include1:_id10", "view:_id1:include1:image2", "onclick", null, true, false)

 

How can I trigger this event in client side javascript?

 

Many thanks

 

 

Adam.
