How to submit a form on enter when the textarea has focus?

Question

When filling out a form\'s textarea, the default behavior when the enter key is hit is to move to the next line. How can I change the behavior of the form so it will submit

Answer 1

Why do you want a textarea to submit when you hit enter?

A "text" input will submit by default when you press enter. It is a single line input.

A "textarea" will not, as it benefits from multi-line capabilities. Submitting on enter takes away some of this benefit.

You can add JavaScript code to detect the enter keypress and auto-submit, but you may be better off using a text input.
