I need to enter some value in JSP text field and then need to press enter which should fetch data

[Bala Ranch]

Hi,
I am facing a problem like when I enter some value in Text field and then i have to press Enter button then that
event should fetch the remaining data from the Database associated to that entered value.

<tr>
<th>Application No</th>
<td><html:text property="appno" onkeypress="getAppDetails()" /></td>
</tr>

How this event function is going to be called in action.

Why wouldn't you just use a form?

Hi David,

Can you elaborate on how to use form to invoke the Text Box event.

Oh, you mean you want to replace the value in the textbox with the results of an Ajax request?

i have diff requirement compared to normal action call
i need to enter some primary key value in JSP Text field and then i need to press enter button then that event should call the action class method from javascript.
so when i press enter button for that i wrote onkeypress event which is defined in Javascript in turn which should call action class method which has the functionality code to fetch the database .

One JSP with some text fields like ID and name.when i enter ID value and then enter key then it should fetch the associated values from the database without submit() action.

It's very urgent.
