I need to know how to trigger an enter key on an input. That is, in response to some other event (not a keypress), I need to trigger a keypress of value 13.
(Clarification, I do not want to trigger some event when the enter key is pressed. If I didn't know how to do that, I could find that that's been asked and answered several times on SO. I want the reverse. I am trying to develop a workaround that requires I emulate an 'enter' keypress.)

To submit the form using 'Enter' button, we will use jQuery keypress() method and to check the 'Enter' button is pressed or not, we will use 'Enter' button key code value. Explanation: We use the jQuery event.
You can execute a function by pressing the enter key in a field using the key event in JavaScript. If the user presses the button use the keydown to get know its enter button or not. If it enters the key then call the JavaScript function.
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.
You can do this -
var e = $.Event( "keypress", { which: 13 } ); $('#yourInput').trigger(e); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
