Add new line character to textarea instead of submitting form

Question

I have a form with a text area and hitting the enter key submits my form. How can I make it to add a new line character instead of a form submit.

Answer 1

This should help

$('#myProblematicForm textarea').keypress(function(event) {
  if (event.which == 13) {
    event.preventDefault();
    this.value = this.value + "\n";
  }
});

For what it's worth, I'm using Chrome on OS X and Enter inserts a \n in a textarea for me and does not submit forms by default.
