Prevent form submission with enter key

In my project, I am trying to disable the Enter key and give my own enter key function.(which I havent done)

The below function is working but whenever I press Enter key inside the TextBox field, the content is adding to div (as needed) and also in the TextBox field, enter key function is happening (which I dont want). How to stop the enter Key function to run on the TextBox field? For clear understanding please see my comments in the below code.

.aspx file (working)

<asp:TextBox ID="msg" BackColor="Transparent" runat="server" BorderStyle="None"
                        TextMode="MultiLine" />

---

jQuery (working)

$('#msg').keypress(function (e) {
            if (e.which == 13) {

                //Shows the TextBox text in a Div, which I want to.
                chat.server.send($('#msg').val());  //also going one step down in TextBox field which I dont want to.

                $('#msg').val(''); //Clearing the Text in TextBox field

                //what should I add here to make the Enter Key work only for the DIV?
            }
        });

try e.preventDefault()
like this

$('#msg').keypress(function (e) {
            if (e.which == 13) {
                e.preventDefault();
                //Shows the TextBox text in a Div, which I want to.
                chat.server.send($('#msg').val());  //also going one step down in TextBox field which I dont want to.

                $('#msg').val(''); //Clearing the Text in TextBox field

                //what should I add here to make the Enter Key work only for the DIV?
            }
        });
