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

To trigger a search every time the enter key is pressed, use this:

$(document).keypress(function(event) {
    var keycode = (event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which);
    if (keycode == '13') {
        $('#btnSearch').click();
    }
}
