Capture an Enter Key Pressed anywhere on the page

Question

I need to capture an Enter Key press at any time anywhere on a logon page. It will initiate a logon attempt.

Using jQuery, how would I accomplish this? And would I link it to the body tag?

Answer 1

$(document).keypress(function(e) {   if(e.which == 13) {     // enter pressed   } }); 

Answer 2

The keydown event is fired when a key is pressed down.
The keypress event is fired when a key is pressed down and that key normally produces a character value.

$(document).keydown( function(event) {   if (event.which === 13) {     // login code here   } });
