jquery-ui Dialog: Make a button in the dialog the default action (Enter key)

Question

In a jquery modal dialog, is there a way to select a button as the default action (action to execute when the user presses enter)?

Example of jquery web site: jquer

Answer 1

I like this one (it is working for me), which leaves the focus where I wanted to be (a text box)

    $("#logonDialog").keydown(function (event) {
        if (event.keyCode == $.ui.keyCode.ENTER) {
            $(this).parent()
                   .find("button:eq(0)").trigger("click");
            return false;
        }
    });

However, this is working just for one button (Ok button), if needed ':eq(n)' could be set to select other button.

Note: I added a new line returning false to prevent event bubbling when the enter key is handled, I hope it helps better than before.
