html() - Focus on drop-down. Empty return value

Post by **highend** » 01 Aug 2018 08:34

When using html() to display a form, hitting the ENTER key while the focus is on a drop-down item leads to an empty return string.

Can you change this, please?

Sample code:

Code: Select all

    // Drop-down: Boolean
    $formDropDown = <<<>>>
        <!-- Drop-down: Boolean -->
        <div style="position:absolute;left:10px;top:48px;width:50px;height:16px">
        <span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">SD:</span></div>
        <select name="drop_down" size="1" style="position:absolute;left:70px;top:46px;width:150px;height:22px;" tabindex="2">
            <option value="true">true</option>
            <option value="false">false</option>
        </select>
>>>;


    // The HTML form
    $form = <<<>>>
    <html>
    <head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head>
    <title>Select oldest/newest file(s)</title>
    <body>
        <div style="position:absolute;width:502px;height:150px;">
            <form method="get" action="xys:">
                <!-- Vertical space: 35px -->

                <!-- Input: Number -->
                <div style="position:absolute;left:10px;top:13px;width:96px;height:16px">
                <span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Number:</span></div>
                <input type="text" name="number" id="id_Number" value="1" style="position:absolute;left:70px;top:11px;width:391px;height:22px;line-height:18px;" tabindex="1">

                <!-- Drop-down: Boolean -->
                $formDropDown

                <!-- OK button -->
                <input type="submit" name="ok" value="OK" style="position:absolute;left:140px;top:185px;width:96px;height:25px" tabindex="3">
            </form>
        </div>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            var inputPattern = document.getElementById("id_Number");
            inputPattern.focus();
            inputPattern.select();
        </script>
    </body>
    </html>
>>>;
    // Decode the HTMLs return string
    text urldecode(html($form, 575, 340, "Test"));

01. Just hit enter (focus is on the input field), return value: ?number=1&drop_down=true
02. Tab to the drop-down field, hit enter, return value is empty
