Detect the Enter key in a text input field

Question

I\'m trying to do a function if enter is pressed while on specific input.

What I\'m I doing wrong?

$(document).keyup(function (e) {
    if ($(\".inpu         


        

Answer 1

event.key === "Enter"

More recent and much cleaner: use event.key. No more arbitrary number codes!

NOTE: The old properties (.keyCode and .which) are Deprecated.

const node = document.getElementsByClassName("input")[0];
node.addEventListener("keyup", function(event) {
    if (event.key === "Enter") {
        // Do work
    }
});

Modern style, with lambda and destructuring

node.addEventListener('keyup', ({key}) => {
    if (key === "Enter") return false
})

If you must use jQuery:

$(document).keyup(function(event) {
    if ($(".input1").is(":focus") && event.key == "Enter") {
        // Do work
    }
});
