You can use onsubmit="function_name()" in your form.

Or, you can use onkeypress="if(event.keyCode=='13'){function_name();}else{return false;}" (13 is the ENTER key.)

If it's not working, try taking off the else (else{return false;} part)

This code works perfectly for me (in IE6):

<html><head>
<script>
function search(){
alert("LOL!!!!");
}
</script></head><body><form action=""><div>
<input type=text name="LOL" value="Company"
onkeypress="if(event.keyCode=='13'){search();}">
</div></form></body></html>

It works for me, so I have no idea what your problem could be. I even tested it on the server (although it was dynamic, you're using ASP so...)......

No, this is an JSP application...How about if i call onkeypress event in the <body> tag

thanks

Yes thats more like it ,and it will work. from there
event.keyCode will only work for IE

Yeah, Khalid. event.keyCode is for IE only.
