Javascript Simulate Pressing Enter In Input Box

I have what seemed to be a simple fix to a problem but after trying a ton of different solutions online nothing seems to work for me. I have search field that searches a data table

Solution 1:

Try this

document.getElementById("formId").submit();

Solution 2:

You can call the onchange() event in javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
   window.onload = (function() {
       document.getElementById('search').value = " <?php echo $search;?>";
       document.getElementById('search').onchange();
   });
</script>

Solution 3:

I assume you have a form, the enter in the textbox will trigger the submit of the form. In javascript you can do this manually like this:

<form id='myform" action="/foo">

document.forms["myform"].submit();

Solution 4:

       <input type="text" id="fname" onblur="businessFun()">

Please try this and in js buinessFun() do the search actions if you use ajax pass current time as parameter
