How to capture Enter key press? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Use onkeypress . Check if the pressed key is enter (keyCode = 13). if yes, call the searching() function.

HTML

JAVASCRIPT

function handleKeyPress(e){
 var key=e.keyCode || e.which;
  if (key==13){
     searching();
  }
}

Here is a snippet showing it in action:

document.getElementById("msg1").innerHTML = "Default";
function handle(e){
 document.getElementById("msg1").innerHTML = "Trigger";
 var key=e.keyCode || e.which;
  if (key==13){
     document.getElementById("msg1").innerHTML = "HELLO!";
  }
}
