Question

I want to send a textarea’s data when user presses shift + enter, but without inserting a new line.

This doesn’t work:

    $( 'form textarea' ).keydown(function (event) {
        if (event.keyCode == 13 && event.shiftKey) {
            send_data();
            event.preventDefault();
            return false;
        }
     }); 

I’m using Google Chrome.

While I was debugging, my send_data function was:

function send_data() {
    alert('working...');
}

But after I saw Esailija’s comment I realized my code was correct
and the “alert” was the cause of my problem. Stupid question, sorry for that.
