What is the best way, when hitting enter inside a form, the focus to go to the next input instead submitting the form with angularjs.
I have a form with a lot of fi
This is the directive I ended up with (thanks to Zack Argyle and Oleg):
app.directive("nextFocus", function () {
/** Usage:
Upon pressing ENTER key the directive will switch focus to
the next field id e.g field2
The last field should not have next-focus directive to avoid
focusing on non-existing element.
Works for Web, iOS (Go button) & Android (Next button) browsers,
**/
var directive = {
restrict: 'A',
link: function (scope, elem, attrs) {
elem.bind('keydown', function (e) {
var code = e.keyCode || e.which;
if (code === 13) {
try {
if (attrs.tabindex != undefined) {
var currentTabIndex = attrs.tabindex;
var nextTabIndex = parseInt(attrs.tabindex) + 1;
$("[tabindex=" + nextTabIndex + "]").focus();
}
} catch (e) {
}
}
});
}
};
return directive;
});
