How to detect pressing Enter on keyboard using jQuery?

Question

I would like to detect whether the user has pressed Enter using jQuery.

How is this possible? Does it require a plugin?

EDIT: It looks like I need

Answer 1

I wrote a small plugin to make it easier to bind the "on enter key pressed" a event:

$.fn.enterKey = function (fnc) {
    return this.each(function () {
        $(this).keypress(function (ev) {
            var keycode = (ev.keyCode ? ev.keyCode : ev.which);
            if (keycode == '13') {
                fnc.call(this, ev);
            }
        })
    })
}

Usage:

$("#input").enterKey(function () {
    alert('Enter!');
})
