bind enter key to a function

i want to bind the enter key to a function in java script instead of pressing the button,is there a way to do this in JavaScript ?

If you're using jquery you can do:

 

$(document).keypress(function(e) {
  	if(e.keyCode == 13) {
    	// Do code here
  	}
});

replace return with something else.

Would something like the following not work?

 

var curDoc = document;

curDoc.onkeydown = function(e) {
	e = e || window.event;
	if (e.keyCode == 13) {
		//Your code here
		e.preventDefault();
	}
};

 

Opera may require you to use onkeypress, not 100% just remember there being some problems with opera

Missed possible bug with opera

JQuery is a library built upon JavaScript to improve the programming experience. It can be added to any project for free by linking the JQuery script before your code. If possible, I would suggest using it because it really is superior
