How to capture the keyboard "Return" event on iPhone browser?

Question

Is there a way to capture the event in jquery/javascript when a user hits the "Return" key in the iphone browser keyboard? I'm trying to either hide the keyboard on the press or activate some function.

Answer 1

You could try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.onkeyup=function(e) {
    if(e.which == 13){
        $('inputID').blur();
        //rest of function

        return false;
    }
}
</script>

Are you using a library?

Update
Depending on the application, an input submit would hide the keyboard and trigger a function:

<form id="searchForm" OnSubmit="doSearch(this.searchTerm.value); return false;">  
  <input type="search" name="searchTerm" autocorrect = "off" />
  <input type="submit" value="Search" class="hidden" />
</form>

You could even hide the input button with CSS: .hidden {display: none;}

Answer 2

This is what hides the keyboard:

$('#inputID').blur();
