Hi,
just stick with the submit event. It's fired either when user presses
Enter or clicks the submit button:
$("#searchForm").submit(function() {
var url = 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=' + $
('#searchText').val() + '&alt=json-in-script&callback=showMyVideos&max-
results=7&format=5';
$.getScript(url);
return false;
});
