I'd like to have Javascript respond to a keypress or keydown event from only the numeric keypad Enter key, not the usual Enter key. They both seem to generate the same event data according to the demo in the jQuery keypress docs, so I'm not sure it's possible.

To check if an “enter” key is pressed inside a textbox, just bind the keypress() to the textbox. $('#textbox'). keypress(function(event){ var keycode = (event.
To check whether user pressed ENTER key on webpage or on any input element, you can bind keypress or keydown event to that element or document object itself. Then in bind() function check the keycode of pressed key whether it's value is 13 is not.
Enter and Numpad Enter both give the same keycode, i.e. 13, because browsers do not differentiate between the two keys.
They do generate the same keystroke data, at the level of abstraction that JavaScript has access to. Remember, JavaScript lives in a sandbox (the browser) and has no direct access to the underlying hardware (there are plenty of platforms that don't have a numeric keypad at all, but do have a browser).
This cannot be done.
EDIT:
Support for this has been added for some browsers but does not seem to be universal (see the other answer).
