jQuery - detect enter key in jQuery

the following line of jQuery let's you detect when an enter key was pressed while focus was on a text input element.

Or you can use the live method to bind the keyup handler to future additions to the DOM:

$('input[type=text]').keyup(function(e) {
      if(e.keyCode == 13) {
 	     alert('Enter key detected with  jquery');
      }
});

$('.someClass').live('keyup',function(e){
	if(e.keyCode == 13) {
		alert('Enter key detected with  jquery');
	}
});

Since the live method has been is deprecated in jQuery, nowadays the second example would be written something like this:

$(document).on('keypress', 'form', function(e){
	if (e.keyCode == 13) {
		e.preventDefault();
		alert('hiya');
	}
});
