Question

I noticed that if you focus on an element that mouse clic can be triggered, the Enter keys acts like as you left click the mouse. I want to avoid this running since it comes into conflict in other pieces of my code.

In the following example if I focus on this imageButton and I clic once, the next clicks can be “done” with the Enter key, so I don’t want this because this button fires a slideToggle() and shows a hidden div, so IMO it’s pointless toggle this div with the keyboard.

Is there any way to make it global way?
Thank you.

Try this:

$(".myElements").keypress(function(e) {
    if (e.which == 13) {
        e.preventDefault();
    }
});

It will stop the enter key behaviour only, allowing the other key functions to work as usual.
