Is there any way to manually invoke "Enter key" event on a textbox?

Question

I want to manually invoke enter key press event on textbox through JS or jQuery.

I dont want to capture that event. I just want to invoke enter key press event.

You can trigger it like:

// dummy event listener
$("input").keydown(function() { return true; });

var keyEvent = jQuery.Event("keydown");
keyEvent.keyCode = 13;
$("input").trigger(keyEvent);
