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

Answer 1

This was pretty helpful, but I'm the provided solution isn't quite working for me. I tweaked the code provided and it somewhat works now, but it doesn't appear to be submitting the correct data. Whenever I press the enter key, it submits a "0" in the input box instead of whatever I've actually put in there. For whatever reason it is not posting the searchString. The code I'm using is:

beforeShowSearch: function(form){
  $(form).keydown(function(e) {
    if (e.keyCode == 13) {
      $("#fbox_cust_grid_search").click();
    }
  });
},
onClose: function(form){
  $(form).unbind('keydown');
}

Do any of you guys have a suggestion as to what might be going on here?

Edit: Interesting, when I alert something out(anything) right before the .click() method, the data is posted perfectly. Any ideas?
