This is a complete revision of my initial question, all unnecessary resources and references were deleted
I am tying the same event listener to 2 different elements: a button and Enter key, and it looks like the following:
var funcelement = function(){
//function code
};
$('#buttonID').click(funcelement);
$('#inputID').keyup(function () {
if (event.which == 13) {
$('#buttonID').trigger('click');
}
})
$('#inputID').keyup(function () {
var hasfocus = $('#buttonID').is(':focus') || false;
if (event.which == 13) {
if (!hasfocus) {
event.preventDefault();
$('#buttonID').trigger('click');
//hasfocus = true;
}
else {
//event.preventDefault();
//$('#buttonID').trigger('click');
}
}
})
You can pass a parameter to into the function and stop the propagation there like so:
var funcelement = function(event, wasTriggeredByEnterKey){
if (wasTriggeredByEnterKey && $('#buttonID').is(':focus')) {
event.stopPropagation;
}
//function code
};
$('#buttonID').click(funcelement);
$('#inputID').keyup(function () {
if (event.which == 13) {
$('#buttonID').trigger('click', [true]);
}
}
)
UPDATE
In order to answer your revised issue, you should use the "keydown" event rather than "keyup" when working with alerts. This is because alerts close with the "keydown" event but then you are still triggering the "keyup" event when you release the enter key. Simply change the one word like this:
$('#inputID').keydown(function () {
var hasfocus = $('#buttonID').is(':focus') || false;
if (event.which == 13) {
if (!hasfocus) {
event.preventDefault();
$('#buttonID').trigger('click');
//hasfocus = true;
}
else {
//event.preventDefault();
//$('#buttonID').trigger('click');
}
}
})
