Question

I have a simple search page with a single input box.

I want to be able to trigger the search action either by clicking “Go” or by pressing Enter in the input box. I did it like this:

$("input[name='entry']").keyup(function (event) {
    if (event.keyCode == 13) {
        search_phone();
    }
});

$('a#go').click(function () {
    search_phone();
});

Is there a more elegant way to do this? Like with bind and trigger, or fling. If so, how?

Answer 1

Not much can you improve here. Your code is pretty good.

You could skip the anonymous function for the click event.

$('a#go').click(search_phone);
