jQuery: send keystroke


i'm having a widget with a search-textbox. when pressing enter in it, search starts.

i now want to trigger that enter key by code. in other words, i want to send the enter-keystroke to the textbox.

how does it work?

thx


Solution

  • I would advise that you trigger the search rather than triggering the keystroke. Obviously, that can be done just by calling the client-side search code or, if searching takes place server-side, submitting the form with the correct arguments/values.
