Capture Enter Key...

[sourav08]

Hello,

I'm developing a website using PHP, Javascript and MySQL.

I have a login form with a couple of textboxes and a login button. What I
want to do is capture the Enter key so that when the user presses Enter, it will behave like tab and throw the onchange event (written for each field).

I have searched the Internet for hours now trying to find out how to do it,
but any methods that I have seen do not work.

Can anyone help me do that?

Regards,
Sourav

document.body.onkeypress = function (event) {
    event = event || window.event;
    if (event.keycode = 13) {
        alert('Enter key pressed');
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

Hey Folks,

I'm write it using JQuery as follows..

$(selector).live('keydown', function(e) {
        var key = e.which||e.keyCode;     
        //var key = (window.event) ? e.keyCode : e.which; 
        //var key = (window.event) ? window.event.keyCode : e.which; 
    if (key == 13) {
        alert('Enter key pressed');
        return false;
    }
    return true;
});

@hsriat
Here single assignment(=) is used instead of equal of (==), Actually keycode can work but keyCode is actual..
