Searchbox keyDown

[sky-t]

Hi guys,

is there a possibility to get keyDowns in searchboxes?
I want the user if he pressing Enter to Search and if he is pressing CTRL+Enter to start a javascript function.


Thank you very much

Call 'textbox' method to get the inputing box and you will be able to bind any events on it.

Code:

var tb = $('#sb').searchbox('textbox');
tb.bind('keydown', function(e){
  //...
});

Hi jarry,

thank you for your reply. When i don't use the searchbox searcher-function it works, but then the function of the search icon also doesn't work whats normal.
Can i trigger the search icon directly?

Thanks again

You can call 'getIcon' method to get the searching icon and then trigger its 'click' event.

Code:

var icon = $('#sb').searchbox('getIcon',0);
icon.trigger('click');
