Enter Key Press behave like Submit in JSF

Question

How to make Enter Key Press behave like Submit in JSF. It works with InputBoxes; but not with inputSecret boxes

Answer 1

There is an old specification that pops into my mind with this one. If you have a form that contains just one input field, the behaviour of submitting on the enter-key doesn't work in some versions of Internet Explorer. The easiest fix is to make sure you have more than one input field.

Other reasons for this problem include...

• Not having an input of type submit
• Having an input of type submit, but it isn't visible on the page (hidden or positioned off-page)

This behaviour is very specific to this browser.
