using keypress and click for submit

How do I make a click event and keypress work in the same if statement?
Right now I have :
if($('.test').is(':visible;)){
$('button').click(function(e){
..do something here
}else {
..do something here
});
.test is the value field that when the user puts in the value I want them to be able to click the enter key, while they are in this box to submit the information or use the button to do so. This is not in a form, they are all in divs.

So put the logic into a common function and call it for click and keypress.
(function () {
function yourLogic () {
$(".out").text($(".yourInput").val());
}
$("button").on("click", yourLogic);
$(".yourInput").on("keyup", function (evt) {
if (evt.which===13) yourLogic();
});
}());
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" class="yourInput" />
<button>Click</button>
<div class="out"></div>
or do not use a common function and call the click() event on the button.
$(".yourInput").on("keyup", function (evt) {
if (evt.which===13) $("#yourButton").trigger("click");
});

If you got a form, then bind submit handler:
$("form").submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
// your event handler here
});
It will be triggered when you press enter to submit the form, and when you click submit button at the same time.

You can use it like this:
$("input").keypress(function(event) {
if (event.which == 13) {
event.preventDefault();
$("form").submit();
}
});

Or simply click on background
$(document).keypress(function(e) {
if(e.which == 13) {
$('button').trigger("click");
}
});
//if($('.test').is(':visible;)){
$('button').on("click",function(e){
alert("click or enter");
e.stopPropagation();
});
// }
// else {
// ..do something here
//}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button>CLick me</button>

Blur event cancels Click events with jQuery on Mobile device

I have a blur event in a textarea:
$("#question-id-5-answer").blur(function (event) {}
And a click event in the Submit button:
$("#" + _sendBtnId).on("click", function () {}
It happens that the Click event does not fire because the Blur event cancel the click event.
I can't use the Mousedown event because it's a touch device that does not detect it.

I tried saving the following on my mobile device as a htm file and accessed using Forefox application. Appears to be working as expected. Please have a look if it helps you.
<form id="myForm">
<textarea id="myTxt"></textarea>
<input type="button" id="butSubmit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#myTxt").blur(function() {
if($(this).val() != "") {
alert("retunging false");
return false;
}
alert("rextarea is empty");
});
$("#butSubmit").click(function() {
alert("submitted");
});
});
</script>

jQuery: focusout to exclude some elements

focusout on input field will trigger every time the specific input looses its focus.
But, I want to exclude some specific a tag from triggering that focusout function
Example:
<input type="text" id="name_input">
<a id="apply_name">SAVE</a>
Then the focusout function:
$("#name_input").focusout(function(e) {
//do something here
});
Clicking on "#apply_name" also triggers focusout function of an input. How can I exclude that specific element ID from triggering it.
Note: I tried some tricks already posted on StackOverflow and none of them seams to work...

Another way of doing this is checking what your target id is
var evt;
document.onmousemove = function (e) {
e = e || window.event;
evt = e;
}
$("#name_input").focusout(function (e) {
if (evt.target.id == "apply_name") {
//apply_name clicked
} else {
//focus out and applyname not clicked
}
});
DEMO

You can use "blur" - event.
$("#name_input").on("blur", function(e) {
//your code
});

Solution from How to exclude Id from focusout
Added .hasClass which I also needed:
$('#id').focusout (function (e) {
if (e.relatedTarget && $(e.relatedTarget).hasClass('dontFocusOut')) {
return;
}
//do your thing
});

JavaScript function getting called twice on Enter key press

I have a button in my html page
<input id="btnLogin" class="loginBtn" type="button" value="Login" title="Login" />
I have binded a jquery click event to this button like
$('#btnLogin').click(function () {
ValidateLogin();
});
I'm also checking the enter key press to call the same function ValidateLogin(); like below
$(document).keypress(function (e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
ValidateLogin();
}
});
The issue that i'm facing is when the user presses the tab key to get in focus over the Login button and then press Enter Key the ValidateLogin() is called twice.How to deal with this situation.
Note : i can't use type="submit" to do a form submit ..since i'm using ajax call on button click

You should use the submit event instead. Your browser is probably firing the click event when pressing enter and that is effectively the same as pressing the submit button:
$("form").submit(function(e) {
// Stop the form submitting
e.preventDefault();
ValidateLogin();
});
function ValidateLogin() {
$.ajax({
// ...
}).done(function(e) {
if(!e.valid) {
alert("Invalid Login");
}
});
}
Second reason, even if your keypress was to work correctly, I can press a button by pressing spacebar too.
Here is a full Fiddle to demonstrate.

Since it's a form I would prefer to attach event on form elements instead on document.
Use form element like text, textarea etc. on click of enter should submit the form.
$('input:text, textarea').keypress(function (e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
ValidateLogin();
}
});
In your case event is bubbled from the button to document hence it is called twice.

Its working fine check this fiddler DEMO
<input id="btnLogin" class="loginBtn" type="button" value="Login" title="Login" />
$('#btnLogin').click(function () {
//ValidateLogin();
alert('click');
});
$(document).keypress(function (e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
//ValidateLogin();
alert('enter');
}
e.preventDefault();
});

JQuery Event for user pressing enter in a textbox?

Is there any event in Jquery that's triggered only if the user hits the enter button in a textbox? Or any plugin that can be added to include this? If not, how would I write a quick plugin that would do this?

You can wire up your own custom event
$('textarea').bind("enterKey",function(e){
//do stuff here
});
$('textarea').keyup(function(e){
if(e.keyCode == 13)
{
$(this).trigger("enterKey");
}
});
http://jsfiddle.net/x7HVQ/

$('#textbox').on('keypress', function (e) {
if(e.which === 13){
//Disable textbox to prevent multiple submit
$(this).attr("disabled", "disabled");
//Do Stuff, submit, etc..
//Enable the textbox again if needed.
$(this).removeAttr("disabled");
}
});

Here is a plugin for you: (Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/maniator/CjrJ7/)
$.fn.pressEnter = function(fn) {
return this.each(function() {
$(this).bind('enterPress', fn);
$(this).keyup(function(e){
if(e.keyCode == 13)
{
$(this).trigger("enterPress");
}
})
});
};
//use it:
$('textarea').pressEnter(function(){alert('here')})

heres a jquery plugin to do that
(function($) {
$.fn.onEnter = function(func) {
this.bind('keypress', function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) func.apply(this, [e]);
});
return this;
};
})(jQuery);
to use it, include the code and set it up like this:
$( function () {
console.log($("input"));
$("input").onEnter( function() {
$(this).val("Enter key pressed");
});
});
jsfiddle of it here http://jsfiddle.net/VrwgP/30/

It should be well noted that the use of live() in jQuery has been deprecated since version 1.7 and has been removed in jQuery 1.9. Instead, the use of on() is recommended.
I would highly suggest the following methodology for binding, as it solves the following potential challenges:
By binding the event onto document.body and passing $selector as the second argument to on(), elements can be attached, detached, added or removed from the DOM without needing to deal with re-binding or double-binding events. This is because the event is attached to document.body rather than $selector directly, which means $selector can be added, removed and added again and will never load the event bound to it.
By calling off() before on(), this script can live either within within the main body of the page, or within the body of an AJAX call, without having to worry about accidentally double-binding events.
By wrapping the script within $(function() {...}), this script can again be loaded by either the main body of the page, or within the body of an AJAX call. $(document).ready() does not get fired for AJAX requests, while $(function() {...}) does.
Here is an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
var $selector = $('textarea');
// Prevent double-binding
// (only a potential issue if script is loaded through AJAX)
$(document.body).off('keyup', $selector);
// Bind to keyup events on the $selector.
$(document.body).on('keyup', $selector, function(event) {
if(event.keyCode == 13) { // 13 = Enter Key
alert('enter key pressed.');
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

If your input is search, you also can use on 'search' event. Example
<input type="search" placeholder="Search" id="searchTextBox">
.
$("#searchPostTextBox").on('search', function () {
alert("search value: "+$(this).val());
});

//Short and simple solution
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#TextboxId').keydown(function(event){
if (event.which == 13){
//body or action to be performed
}
});
});

HTML Code:-
<input type="text" name="txt1" id="txt1" onkeypress="return AddKeyPress(event);" />
<input type="button" id="btnclick">
Java Script Code
function AddKeyPress(e) {
// look for window.event in case event isn't passed in
e = e || window.event;
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
document.getElementById('btnEmail').click();
return false;
}
return true;
}
Your Form do not have Default Submit Button

Another subtle variation.
I went for a slight separation of powers, so I have a plugin to enable catching the enter key, then I just bind to events normally:
(function($) { $.fn.catchEnter = function(sel) {
return this.each(function() {
$(this).on('keyup',sel,function(e){
if(e.keyCode == 13)
$(this).trigger("enterkey");
})
});
};
})(jQuery);
And then in use:
$('.input[type="text"]').catchEnter().on('enterkey',function(ev) { });
This variation allows you to use event delegation (to bind to elements you haven't created yet).
$('body').catchEnter('.onelineInput').on('enterkey',function(ev) { /*process input */ });

I could not get the keypress event to fire for the enter button, and scratched my head for some time, until I read the jQuery docs:
"The keypress event is sent to an element when the browser registers keyboard input. This is similar to the keydown event, except that modifier and non-printing keys such as Shift, Esc, and delete trigger keydown events but not keypress events." (https://api.jquery.com/keypress/)
I had to use the keyup or keydown event to catch a press of the enter button.

<form name="searchForm" id="searchForm" onsubmit="doSomething(event)">
<input type="text" name="search" id="search">
</form>
<script>
function doSomething(event){
let $val = $('form#searchForm input[name="search"]').val();
console.log($val);
event.preventDefault();
}
</script>
One simple way it can be done in this way. Enter text or number, hit enter key and get the entered input value.
