Trigger a button click with JavaScript on the Enter key in a text box

Question

I have one text input and one button (see below). How can I use JavaScript to trigger the button\'s click event when the Enter key is pressed ins

Answer 1

This is a solution for all the YUI lovers out there:

Y.on('keydown', function() {
  if(event.keyCode == 13){
    Y.one("#id_of_button").simulate("click");
  }
}, '#id_of_textbox');

In this special case I did have better results using YUI for triggering DOM objects that have been injected with button functionality - but this is another story...
