Making a button click when pressing "Enter" on a text field

Hi Don,
Before I get started, I want to let you know that triggering events/scripts when the 'enter' key is hit in a field is not supported using the standard Composer API. To achieve this result we will fall back to JQuery, which limits the support for this functionality to HTML only.
The following is one possible way of achieving your desired functionality, it has not been implemented in a production environment and would require a full round of testing before release to ensure compatibility with the browsers and devices supported by Composer forms.
The steps are as follows:

• Add a text field, button, and 2 general purpose business rules to your form.

• Add the following code, or equivalent to the button's click script:

sfc.fireEvent('evtSomeEvent', me, null);

Note: this script will trigger an event when the button is clicked, you should rename evtSomeEvent to something more appropriate.
The first business rule will bind a function to the text field so that it will also fire the same event when the 'enter' key is pressed.

• Edit the first business rule


• Navigate to Rules > Business > Business Rule and set the value to 'Script Based'


• Edit the script and add the following code

$({HitEnter}).keypress(function(e) {
if(e.which == 13) {
sfc.fireEvent('evtSomeEvent', me, null);
}
});

• Replace {HitEnter}with a Static, Node reference to the text field

• Save the script and business rule


• Next, edit the second business rule

Note: The second rule is the event handler, it will run the code that should be triggered when either the 'enter' key is pressed or the button is clicked.

• As with the first business rule, set it to script based and edit the script


• Navigate to the 'Triggering Conditions' tab


• Update the triggering conditions, so that the rule doesn't run on initialise, and does run when your custom event is fired

• Finally, write the script that you want to have run when the event is fired, in the 'Script' tab of the business rule.


• Save the script and business rule.

Thanks Jye,
I put in everything as above.
The click button console.logs the value of the text field every time no problem,when i try pressing 'enter' after typing some text, console.log returns an empty string. on a second attempt it returns the correct value. but If I change the value and press 'enter 'it logs out the old value, it doesn't change to the new one
perhaps I can demonstrate this to you on your next visit.
