This should do the trick:




$("yourSelector").keydown(function(e){
       if (e.keyCode == 13) {
              $("yourSelector").submit();
       }
});

Hi there,

 

is it possible to bind a keydown event to intercept the enter/return key? I
have a form that is submitted manually and does not have form tags around it
(can't do this, restriction of the cms I am using). and now it - of course -
doesn't react with a "start search" when hitting return after entering a
search phrase. So I would need to bind a keydown event to the corresponding
input fields that reacts on pressing enter/return.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Arne
