Javascript login form doesn't submit when user hits Enter

Question

I\'m working on a simple javascript login for a site, and have come up with this:

Login to view!         


        

Answer 1

it's because it's not a form submitting, so there's no event to be triggered when the user presses enter. An alternative to the above form submit options would be to add an event listener for the input form to detect if the user pressed enter.

<input type="password" name="text1" onkeypress="detectKey(event)">
