jquery how to catch enter key and change event to tab

Question

I want a jquery solution, I must be close, what needs to be done?

$('html').bind('keypress', function(e) {      if(e.keyCode == 13)      {          return e.keyCode = 9; //set event key to tab      } }); 

I can return false and it prevents the enter key from being pressed, I thought I could just change the keyCode to 9 to make it tab but it doesn't appear to work. I've got to be close, what's going on?

Here is a solution :

$('input').on("keypress", function(e) {             /* ENTER PRESSED*/             if (e.keyCode == 13) {                 /* FOCUS ELEMENT */                 var inputs = $(this).parents("form").eq(0).find(":input");                 var idx = inputs.index(this);                  if (idx == inputs.length - 1) {                     inputs[0].select()                 } else {                     inputs[idx + 1].focus(); //  handles submit buttons                     inputs[idx + 1].select();                 }                 return false;             }         });

This works perfect!

 $('input').keydown( function(e) {         var key = e.charCode ? e.charCode : e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : 0;         if(key == 13) {             e.preventDefault();             var inputs = $(this).closest('form').find(':input:visible');             inputs.eq( inputs.index(this)+ 1 ).focus();         }     });
