* Hi
* If I perform a search and I push the search button, you can see it does the search
2 times. I think it’s because of an onmouseout event that is called if you leave
the input-field.
* Is it possible to disable the onmouseout-event? Or is this because of something
else?
Many thanks in advance!
* Kind Regards
Wim

* Hi!
* That’s odd. Does the same thing happen if you switch to another theme temporarily?
For example, try the default Twenty Sixteen theme to see. Let me know how it
goes!

* Hello Ricard
* Many thanks for your reply.
* Yes it does the same thing. Please keep in mind that I had to manually add the
search button in the job-filters.php (through a child theme) because the search
button isn’t in the job-filters.php by default.

* Can you post the full content of job-filters.php on [https://pastebin.com/](https://pastebin.com/)
or somewhere similar, and then give me the link to it? I presume there won’t
be any private or proprietary information in the file but if there is, make sure
to remove it before posting it. Thanks!

* Hi! Thanks for the file. I’ve passed this along to the developers because I don’t
know what’s happening. For my own internal reference, it’s issue #2075. I’ll
get back to you when I hear from them!

* Hi! It looks like the problem is the Submit button you added:
* ```
```
* WPJM will search automatically via javascript when people enter terms, without
the need for a Search button. Explanation from the developer:
* > WPJM’s filter form tries to be Javascript based. It listens for the return
> key or for field changes and then automatically submits the form. It can prevent
> traditional (page reload) form submission on Enter/Return using the build-in
> template because there is no Submit button. When a person hits Enter/Return
> when there is the submit button (from within a text field), JS fires the update
> and then the browser submits the form in the traditional way. If they just
> click Submit (without having changed the fields), you’ll see it just submit
> the form traditionally (without using JS).
* So, our suggestion is to remove the button.

* Thanks for the reply Richard.
* Just to be sure. It isn’t possible to remove the onchange-event filter?
* Kind regards

* Hi! You’d have to edit the plugin files / javascript files for that. There’s
no filter or anything that allows you to remove it, no.
