Question

My application requires an input from users, on entering a value in a textbox, users hit Enter (Return Key) and this calls a
buttons onclick event. This works fine in IE, FF but not Chrome. On enter in chrome, keypress event is not generated
Here is my code snippet

 $('#myDiv').keypress(function (e) {
    alert("Key  pressed");
    if (e.keyCode == $.ui.keyCode.ENTER) {

     alert("enter pressed");
    }
  });

Could anyone provide input on this?

Answer 1

Cross-browsers method :

$('#myDiv').keydown( function(e) {
    var key = e.charCode ? e.charCode : e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : 0;
    if(key == 13) {
        e.preventDefault();
        alert("enter pressed");
    }
});
