How to detect when the user presses Enter in an input field
More recent and much cleaner: use event.key
instead of event.keyCode
. No more arbitrary number codes!
const node = document.getElementById('co');
node.addEventListener('keydown', function onEvent(event) {
if (event.key === "Enter") {
return false;
}
});

None of these answers as of yet specifically answer this question. The question is in 2 parts. 1. Enter is Pressed. 2. The uses is focused on an input.
Jquery
$('#input-id').on("keyup", function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
console.log('Enter');
}
});
Vanilla JavaScript
inputId = document.getElementById('input-id');
inputId.addEventListener('keyup', function onEvent(e) {
if (e.keyCode === 13) {
console.log('Enter')
}
});
This way ENTER is only detected when the user presses enter FROM that input.
document.getElementById('foo').onkeypress = function(e){
if (!e) e = window.event;
var keyCode = e.code || e.key;
if (keyCode == 'Enter'){
// Enter pressed
return false;
}
}
