Question

I have a form with a hidden submit button.

When I try to submit the form using the enter key it fails (alert doesn’t display).

I use the following JS:

$(function() {
    $('div.quick-login form').submit(function() {
        alert('test');

        return false;
    });
});

Any ideas as to why my code doesn’t work?

UPDATE

Browser I tested it with is Chrome.

Answer 1

What I always do is put in a .keypress() handler which checks the keycode.

$("#inputbox").keypress(function(e) {
  if(e.keyCode == 13) {
    alert('test');
  }
});
