Question

I have a form with a text input.

I managed to prevent ENTER from submitting the form by doing this:

jQuery("#inputTags").keydown(function(event) {
      if (event.keyCode == '13') {
         event.preventDefault();

         tagManagerCreate(true);

         return false;
      }
    });

tagManagerCreate() does some stuff. Sometimes, this function triggers a javascript “alert”.
For some reason when that happens, the form still gets submitted!

Answer 1

I think you should use .keypress instead of .keydown

http://api.jquery.com/keydown/

and what the tagManagerCreate(true); do?
