Question

how can i submit a form on enter pressed while i amm typing in textarea……..if i hit enter it only breaks a line but not submits the form.

Answer 1

Try <textarea onkeypress="handleKeyEvent(event);">

function handleKeyEvent(e) {
    var charCode;

    if (e && e.which) {
        charCode = e.which;
    } else if (window.event) {
        e = window.event;
        charCode = e.keyCode;
    }

    if (charCode == 13) {
        document.getElementById("yourForm").submit();
    }
}

But I’d advise against such a thing, or at least make sure that users know what will happen when they press enter. Generally they expect a line break.
