Dashboard - 'text input' setting delay to 0 - enter key only works when in that input field

[Zenofmud]

Node-RED version: v0.14.6
Node.js  version: v4.2.3
NPM      version: 3.10.10

node-red-...@2.3.5

1) I have two Text Input nodes (A and B) and set both to have Delay = 0

I enter a value in A and tab to B and enter a value and press enter, only B is processed.

Is this a bug or the way it should work?

2) can a button node be added as an input to a ‘text input’ node and cause the input nodes value to be sent?

Usage Case: I just want to set up a simple data entry on the dashboard. A couple text input fields and a button to send it all. Further nodes will put it all together, but in my testing I can’t figure out how to get it to work or IF is is possible.

Hi,

1. Will look and check

2, use a ui-form node ?

[Zenofmud]

Solution (from a tidbit in another thread) - Use the ‘Form’ node instead! You can enter multiple fields in a form node and they all get sent at once - brilliant!

Re 1, yes that is the current behavior. I think it would make sense if e also treated loss of focus as the same as enter. So of you move from a field it sends the latest value.

(If you do need both together then yes you need to use a form.)

Yup, the form works for what I want (saw that hint in another thread this morning) I did open another thread on a color issue and reported it as an issue in github
