jqGrid navGrid search submit on Enter keypress not working

Question

I\'d like to be able to invoke the find button on the search dialog when the \"Enter/Return\" key is pressed. Unfortunately the \'savekey\' option doesn\'t submit the form

I had the same problem on FireFox but the above solution worked fine in IE. In order to make it work on Firefox I had to use the focus function instead of click as below:

beforeShowSearch: function (form) {
                        form.keydown(function (e) {
                            if (e.which == 13) {
                                $("#fbox_list_search").focus();
                            }
                        });
                    },
