Question

I want to click enter instead of submit button and I want jquery to do the exact same task as if I were clicking the submit button.

This is what I have but its not working

the jquery

$("#search-friend-text").keypress(function(e){ // start enter click

    switch(e){

        case 13: 
        $.post("<?php echo site_url('userProfile/search_friend'); ?>", 
        $("#add-friend-search").serialize(),
        function(data){
           $("#insert-activity").html(data);
        });

    $("#add-friend-search").slideUp("slow",function(){});
    break;

    }

}); // end enter click

the Html (form)

<form method="post" action="" name="searchFriendForm" id="add-friend-search">
<input type="text" id="search-friend-text" name="searchFriendText">
<input type="button" class="small green button" id="add-friend-button" />


</form>

Answer 1

I think this will solve it

switch(e.keyCode) 

Since e is the event handler
