detecting tab event ?

[Former Member]

Regarding WebDynpro for Java application:

Goal:

I would like to detect when a user tabs out of a specific field, and then based on the entered value populate an EVS, in another field.

Is it possible to detect tab events ?

Any other idea how to achieve the goal ?

Hi Henrik,

tabbing is a client side eventing. Unfortunately there is no mechanism to track client side eventing.

In webdynpro, you will have to generate a server side event for eventing.

Future NW 7.1 version will introduce an onChange event for the InputField UI element. In earlier releases you can only assign an action to the onEnter event which is triggered when the ENTER key is pressed inside the input field.
