Hi, I have a text box and submit button but no <form> tag (does a javascipt action).

The problem with this is that when I press enter in the text box it doesn't press the submit button.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

I don't want to add the form tag because it adds a line break.

add the form tag like this to remove the line break:

<form method="post" actions="" name="myForm" style="display:inline;">
Your form here
</form>

or use a key listener:

Two ways to do this, use and individual function to check for key presses assigned to the form elements, ie

<input type="text" onkeypress="checkEnter();" />

or add and overal handler to check for the enter key and the currently focussed element.

Here is some script to implement the fisrt option:

For Script:

<script>
function checkEnter() {
     if (window.event && window.event.keyCode == 13)
          //do your submission stuff
     else
          //ignore the keypress and carry on
        return true;
}
</script>

For form:

<input type="text" onkeypress="checkEnter();" />
