IE8 / TextField: valueChange is not called when Enter key is pressed

Please see the vaadin demo at http://demo.vaadin.com/sampler#TextFieldSingle: when text is entered into the textfield “Echo this:”, a notification shows up in Firefox and Chrome when the Enter key is pressed, but not in IE6/7/8.

In IE the notification only shows after the TextField looses focus (tab key or mouse click outside the TextField)

Is there a workaround / fix to make the enter key work in IE?

cheers, Andreas

Take a look at this,

You can either use this approach or register an actionhandler (i.e. addActionHandler) to a panel or table etc.
