I have a zip code field which is an input text box; Currently I have
a listener method associated
with this zip field to auto populate the city and state input text
fields. I also have autosubmit="true"
on this zip field. I want to be able to autopopulate the city and
state when the user changes
the zip field on either of two occasions. The first occasion is
when the user enters the zip code and tabs out and the second occasion
is if the user
enters the zip code but instead of tabbing out, clicks a button. The
purpose of the button is
to validate all of the address fields and apply the change in
address( that is if the user
entered a new address on the form.) Currently when the user does not
tab out after changing the zip
but clicks the button instead, the city and state are not auto
populated. i.e the listener method
never gets called.
I hope this is clear. Let me know if it is not.
