The behaviour of <enter> alone is a feature of the select command, see its man page.
<enter> or <space><enter> are not behaving as expected it does not go to "invalid choice" for 2 secs, then MAIN, it's just displaying the menu list down on the screen over and over, hence this is my issue I'm wanting to correct. That behaviour doesn't not seem right.

The input file changes every hour, it's why I want to use a script that can read in a file, record by record, and run a specific action for the reference readed.
Thanks... (1 Reply)

HTML::FormFu::Element::ComboBox(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTML::FormFu::Element::ComboBox(3pm)
NAME
HTML::FormFu::Element::ComboBox - Select / Text hybrid
SYNOPSIS
---
elements:
- type: ComboBox
name: answer
label: 'Select yes or no, or write an alternative:'
values:
- yes
- no
DESCRIPTION
Creates a multi element containing a Select field and a Text field.
A ComboBox element named "foo" would result in a Select menu named "foo_select" and a Text field named "foo_text". The names can instead be
overridden by the "name" value in "select" and "text".
If a value is submitted for the Text field, this will be used in preference to any submitted value for the Select menu.
You can access the submitted value by using the ComboBox's name:
my $value = $form->param_value('foo');
METHODS
default
If the value matches one of the Select menu's options, that options will be selected. Otherwise, the Text field will use the value as its
default.
options
See "options" in HTML::FormFu::Element::_Group for details.
values
See "values" in HTML::FormFu::Element::_Group for details.
value_range
See "value_range" in HTML::FormFu::Element::_Group for details.
empty_first
See "empty_first" in HTML::FormFu::Element::_Group for details.
empty_first_label
See "empty_first_label" in HTML::FormFu::Element::_Group for details.
select
Arguments: \%setting
Set values effecting the Select menu. Known keys are:
name
Override the auto-generated name of the select menu.
text
Arguments: \%setting
Set values effecting the Text field. Known keys are:
name
Override the auto-generated name of the select menu.
CAVEATS
Although this element inherits from HTML::FormFu::Element::Block, its behaviour for the methods filter/filters, constraint/constraints,
inflator/inflators, validator/validators and transformer/transformers is more like that of a field element, meaning all processors are
added directly to the date element, not to its child elements.
This element's get_elements and get_all_elements are inherited from HTML::FormFu::Element::Block, and so have the same behaviour. However,
it overrides the "get_fields|HTML::FormFu/get_fields" method, such that it returns both itself and its child elements.
SEE ALSO
Is a sub-class of, and inherits methods from HTML::FormFu::Element::Multi, HTML::FormFu::Element::Block, HTML::FormFu::Element
