Answer 1

If you want to prevent Enter key for specific textbox then use inline js.

<input type="text" onkeydown="return (event.keyCode!=13);"/>

Answer 2

<script type="text/javascript">

   function stopRKey(evt) { 
     var evt = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null); 
     var node = (evt.target) ? evt.target : ((evt.srcElement) ? evt.srcElement : null); 
     if ((evt.keyCode == 13) && (node.type=="text"))  {return false;} 
   } 


document.onkeypress = stopRKey; 

</script>

Answer 3

Use global selector $('input')...if you use multiple text boxes on page the ID ('#comment') will cause problems. And when using dynamic content bind it using .live e.g.

$('input:not(textarea)').live('keypress',function(e) {
    if (e.which == 13) return false;
    if (e.which == 13) e.preventDefault();
});

(Disable enter for text boxes and leaves enter enabled for text areas)
