Trigger a button click with JavaScript on the Enter key in a text box

Question

I have one text input and one button (see below). How can I use JavaScript to trigger the button\'s click event when the Enter key is pressed ins

Answer 1

Make the button a submit element, so it'll be automatic.

Note that you'll need a

element containing the input fields to make this work (thanks Sergey Ilinsky).

It's not a good practice to redefine standard behaviour, the Enter key should always call the submit button on a form.
