Clicking a link when enter key is pressed using jQuery

Question

I\'m trying to make it so when a user is in a text box and they press enter, it is the same as clicking the link, in which case it should take them to another page. Here\'s what

Answer 1

Write a small jQuery plugin:

jQuery.fn.enter = function(callback) {
   if(!callback) {
      //don't attach if we have garbage.
      return;
   }

   $(this).keydown(function(e) {
       var ev = e || event;
       if(ev.keyCode == 13) {
          callback();
          return false;
       }
   }); 
};

Usage: $(element).enter(callback_func);

I hope this helps.
