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
Based on the answer by wolcy97 but using only angular
/** Usage:
Upon pressing ENTER key the directive will switch focus to
the next tabindex.
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,
**/
app.directive('nextFocus', [function() {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, elem, attrs) {
elem.bind('keydown', function(e) {
var code = e.keyCode || e.which;
if (code === 13) {
e.preventDefault();
try {
if (attrs.tabindex !== undefined) {
var currentTabeIndex = attrs.tabindex;
var nextTabIndex = parseInt(currentTabeIndex) + 1;
var elems = document.querySelectorAll("[tabindex]");
for (var i = 0, len = elems.length; i < len; i++) {
var el = angular.element(elems[i]);
var idx = parseInt(el.attr('tabindex'));
if (idx === nextTabIndex) {
elems[i].focus();
break;
}
}
}
} catch (e) {
console.log('Focus error: ' + e);
}
}
});
}
};
}]);
