Question

I am using ajax to update the db with a new folder but it refreshes the page after ENTER is hit.
on my form I have onkeypress="if(event.keyCode==13) savefolder();"
here is the javascript code that I have: what it does basically is after you hit enter it calls the function savefolder, savefolder then sends a request through ajax to add the folder to the db. Issue is it refreshes the page… I want it to stay on the same page.
any suggestions? Thank you

<script>


 function savefolder() {

var foldername= jQuery('#foldername').val(),
    foldercolor= jQuery('#foldercolor').val();
//  ajax request to add the folder
            jQuery.ajax({   
                type: 'get',
                url: 'addfolder.php',
                data: 'foldername=' + foldername + '&foldercolor=' + foldercolor,       
                beforeSend: function() { alert('beforesend');}, 
                success: function() {alert('success');}
            });

return false;
}
</script>

This is working:

<form>
    <input type="submit" value="Enter">
    <input type="text" value="" placeholder="search">
</form>

function savefolder() {
    var foldername= jQuery('#foldername').val(),
        foldercolor= jQuery('#foldercolor').val();

    jQuery.ajax({   
        type: 'get',
        url: '/echo/html/',
        //data: 'ajax=1&delete=' + koo,       
        beforeSend: function() {
            //fe('#r'+koo).slideToggle("slow");
        },
        success: function() {
            $('form').append('<p>Append after success.</p>');
        }
    });

    return false;
}

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    $('form').submit(savefolder);
});

You need to check to see if you’re having any errors during processing (Firebug or Chrome Console can help). As it stands, your code is not well-formed, as the $(document).ready() is never closed in the code you included in the question.
