How to make a Textbox Submit

I have a search box and a buttion. the user is currently entering text and hitting the search button. But I want to add another function so that instead of clicking the search button, people can press Enter to search. How can i do this?

Here's my sample code:

<form method="post" action="">

     <input id="search" name="search" type="text" />
     <input id="search_btn" name="search_btn" type="submit" />

</form>

Thanks in advance

Pressing 'enter' will submit most forms without focus.

You can do this using the following methods.



<script type="text/javascript">
  function submitenter(myfield,e)
  {
    var keycode;
    if (window.event) keycode = window.event.keyCode;
    else if (e) keycode = e.which;
    else return true;
    if (keycode == 13)
    {
        myfield.form.submit();
        return false;
    }
    else
     return true;
  }

</script>

<form method="post" action="">

     <input id="search" name="search" type="text" :onKeyPress=>"return submitenter(this, event);"/>
     <input id="search_btn" name="search_btn" type="submit"  />

</form>
