Jquery: how to trigger click event on pressing enter key

Arianule picture Arianule · Aug 10, 2013 · Viewed 358.7k times · Source

I need to execute a button click event upon pressing key enter.

As it is at the moment the event is not firing.

Please Help me with the syntax if possible.

$(document).on("click", "input[name='butAssignProd']", function () {
   //all the action
});

this is my attempt to fire click event on enter.

$("#txtSearchProdAssign").keydown(function (e) {
  if (e.keyCode == 13) {
    $('input[name = butAssignProd]').click();
  }
});

try out this....

$('#txtSearchProdAssign').keypress(function (e) {
 var key = e.which;
 if(key == 13)  // the enter key code
  {
    $('input[name = butAssignProd]').click();
    return false;  
  }
});   

$(function() {

  $('input[name="butAssignProd"]').click(function() {
    alert('Hello...!');
  });

  //press enter on text area..

  $('#txtSearchProdAssign').keypress(function(e) {
    var key = e.which;
    if (key == 13) // the enter key code
    {
      $('input[name = butAssignProd]').click();
      return false;
    }
  });

});
