Question

On a JavaScript page, I pop up an alert if the user hits the enter key by using

if(evt.keyCode == 13){
    alert("Return Key Pressed");
}

but the event does not fire when I hit the return key on the iPad. How do I catch the event?

Answer 1

The iPad keyboard does fire the keypress event with a key code of 13 if you press return. This sounds like you’ve got something else going awry

Here’s a quick jsfiddle to verify with: http://jsfiddle.net/359wG/
