JQuery Event Keypress: Enter Key

Post a Comment
i have a combo box which has got values and i want to give the user to select the values when the Enter key pressed. User can navigate through Arrow key Select the value when use

Solution 1: 

 <select>
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
 </select>     

 <script> 
 $('select').live('keypress',function(e){
     var p = e.which;
     if(p==13){
         alert('enter was pressed');
     }
 });
 </script>

Solution 2:

Try this one 

$('#cmb_CIMtrek_DailyshipCo_CustomerName select').keypress(function(event){

        var keycode = (event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which);
        if(keycode == '13'){
            alert('You pressed a "enter" key in textbox');  
        }
        event.stopPropagation();
    });

Solution 3:

If you want to post the form when the user presses enter you could also use a submit button which has this behaviour as a default.

If you don't want to post the form but do have a submit button, this might catch the key event and doesn't propagate.So remove any submit-button.

To restrict the event to an object use:

if (e.target == document.getElementById('element-id'))

or jquery

if (this == $('#element-id').get(0))

Your code would look something like this:

$(document).bind('keypress', function(e) 
    {
    // Use 'this' or 'e.target' (whithout quotes)
    if (this == $('#cmb_CIMtrek_DailyshipCo_CustomerName select').get(0))
        {
        var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
        if(code == 13)
            { //Enter keycode
            //Do something
            alert("Enter key Pressed");
            }
        }
    // Stop the event from triggering anything else
    e.stopPropagation();
    });

For example: 

<!html>
<head>
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="exampleFormControlSelect1">Bodega</label>
    <select class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlSelect1">
      <option value="despacho">Despacho</option>
      <option value="ventas">Ventas</option>
    </select>
</div>

 <script>
     $('#exampleFormControlSelect1').on('keypress',function(e){
         var p = e.which;
         if(p==13){
             alert('enter was pressed');
         }
     });
 </script>
