EventListener Enter Key [duplicate]

Answer 1

Are you trying to submit a form?

Listen to the submit event instead.

This will handle click and enter.

If you must use enter key...

document.querySelector('#txtSearch').addEventListener('keypress', function (e) {
    if (e.key === 'Enter') {
      // code for enter
    }
});

Answer 2

You could listen to the 'keydown' event and then check for an enter key.

Your handler would be like:

function (e) {
  if (13 == e.keyCode) {
     ... do whatever ...
  }
}

Answer 3

Here is a version of the currently accepted answer (from @Trevor) with key instead of keyCode:

document.querySelector('#txtSearch').addEventListener('keypress', function (e) {
    if (e.key === 'Enter') {
      // code for enter
    }
});
