BUG: Hit return on quick find search

Post by Jools »

I never thought to do this, but if you press return when quick searching, it errors. Thanks to Shane for finding this one!

Its been that way for years. I figured it must be firefox or something. It would be great if you can fix it.

Trivially, it think it could be "fixed" by something like "if (key is return) ignore". Shouldn't require a rocket-surgeon or brain-scientist to fix...

OK, so I've fixed this to work as expected by TIA (that's Tech Idiot in Africa). :-) Hope that is better!

Cheers,

Whilst it doesn't error out, I was a little surprised with what it actually did... Nothing wrong, just not what I expected [not sure WHAT I did expect, but not a new page like that].

Well, what should it do? Or what were you expecting?

I quite like what it does. It works old skool for the carriage return pressers and maintains behaviour for the whizzy who expect dropdown and select?

I've checked in the code, so have a look at that and let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Jools

I'm not saying it's wrong - it's just not what I expected. Actually, I think what I expected was that it would go directly to the species page (since I typed L128 which is only matching one species page).

I don't think it's urgently needing to be changed.

Its doing pretty much what I expected it to do now. I think Mats is thinking it should work like the Google "I'm Feeling Lucky" Button
