Question

I am making a chat web application, to send a message, there’s an input type="text" and an input type="button", using a function in JavaScript, I managed to work it out by adding onclick="sendMessage()" as an attribute for the input button, but I need to click on it, but I want it to work like any chat messengers or apps, the client writes something down and hits ENTER key, this could work if I used a <form onsubmit="sendMessage()"> and input type="submit" but then the page will refresh, How can I do this?

Answer 1

 <form onsubmit="sendMessage();return false">

That prevents the default action of sending a request to the server.
