59592 - Form entry and hitting the "enter key"

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[bpmccullo]

When even there is a form to complete on a webpage (i.e. enter a login and
password), once the final element has been filled, hitting enter should submit
the form. Alas, every form I've encountered, it does not.

I confirm this, this has annoyed me for quite some time now..

this is a WFM on win98 1108 build.

since there was no build id or url given I tried a few sites and it WFM.

google.com --> typed mozilla and hit enter key (WFM)
bugzilla.mozilla.org --> typed 59592 and hit enter key (WFM)
www.yahoo.com --> typed mozilla and hit enter key (WFM)

reporter: if you think that this is incorrect after downloading the latest
nightly and mozilla still does not allow you to type in a text string and hit
enter key to submit the form than please give a specific example page.
Then provide step by step order to produce this bug. Thanks.

For now marking WFM.

All the pages you tried have something in common : the form you used only have
ONE textbox. Try the bugzilla query page or Netscape's webmail page : hitting
enter on the last element does nothing (using 2000111004 win32 trunk)
