How do I trap enter from form except textarea

In a dynamic form, I have the following code to trap 'enter' key.
$(document).bind('keypress', function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
e.preventDefault();
}
});
Occasionally, there is an element like HTMLTextAreaElement which accept 'enter' key.
how do I unbind preventDefault only for HTMLTextAreaElement.
TIA.

Try this:
if (e.which == 13 && e.target.localName !== 'textarea') {

$("html *:not(textarea)").bind('keypress', function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
e.preventDefault();
}
});

Prevent Form submitting and hitting keyup event handler not working

Having some problem cross browser. I need to Support IE7-9, my site is set to IE7 standards - cannot be changed. Then i need to support latest chrome, safari and firefox.
I want to hit a keyup event in a textbox on enter. Problem is i have a keypress event added to the form on that page which is submitting the form which i dont want to happen.
Sample application would be like this.
JAVASCRIPT:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("form").bind("keypress", function (e) {
var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
if (code == 13) {
$("#log1").append("Key press - Form event");
}
});
$("#myInput1").bind("keypress", function (e) {
var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
if (code != 13) {
return true;
}
$("#log2").append("Enter pressed - input event");
//if (!e) var e = window.event;
e.cancelBubble = true;
e.returnValue = false;
if (e.stopPropagation) {
e.stopPropagation();
//e.preventDefault();
}
});
$("#myInput1").bind("keyup", function (e) {
var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
if (code != 13) {
return true;
}
$("#log1").append("Key up - Enter pressed - input event");
});
});​
HTML
<li onkeypress="alert('hi')">
<input id="myInput1" type="text" />
<div id="log1"></div>
<div id="log2"></div>
</li>
If i use e.preventDefault() - keyup event is not hit, if i dont use it, page is posting back.
I want to see "Key up - Enter pressed - input event" to be written to screen on pressing enter, across all browsers.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Finally was able to do it like this:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("form").bind("keypress", function (e) {
var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
if (code == 13) {
$("#log1").append("Key press - Form event");
}
});
$("#myInput1").bind("keypress", function (e) {
var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
if (e.keyCode != 13) {
return true;
}
$("#log2").append("Enter pressed - input event");
e.stopPropagation();
sampleE = e.keyCode;
$("#myInput1").trigger("keyup");
return false;
});
$("#myInput1").bind("keyup", function (e) {
if (!e.keyCode)
e.keyCode = sampleE;
if (e.keyCode != 13) {
return true;
}
$("#log1").append("Key up - Enter pressed - input event");
});
});
var sampleE = null;
I know this is not the best of the options but this is working. Thanks All.

keypress event is not fired when we press enter key

I am facing a problem regarding to the keypress event. When I press the enter key then keypress event is not fired but it is working fine with the other keys.
Here is my code :
$(document).ready(function () {
alert('hi');
$("#ctl00_popupPageBody_txtFirstName,#ctl00_popupPageBody_txtLastName").keypress(function (e) {
var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
alert(code);
if (code == 13) { //Enter keycode
//Do something
}
});
});

You should use keyup event for this
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#ctl00_popupPageBody_txtFirstName,#ctl00_popupPageBody_txtLastName").keyup(function(e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
//Enter keycode //Do something
}
});
});

Use just e.which as its normalized across keys:
$(document).ready(function () {
alert('hi');
$("#ctl00_popupPageBody_txtFirstName,#ctl00_popupPageBody_txtLastName").keypress(function (e) {
var code = e.which;
alert(code);
if (code === 13) { //Enter keycode
e.preventDefault();
//your code goes here
}
});
});
Note: in my case I bind do .keydown

Detect the Enter key in a text input field

I'm trying to do a function if enter is pressed while on specific input.
What I'm I doing wrong?
$(document).keyup(function (e) {
if ($(".input1").is(":focus") && (e.keyCode == 13)) {
// Do something
}
});
Is there a better way of doing this which would say, if enter pressed on .input1 do function?

$(".input1").on('keyup', function (e) {
if (e.key === 'Enter' || e.keyCode === 13) {
// Do something
}
});
// e.key is the modern way of detecting keys
// e.keyCode is deprecated (left here for for legacy browsers support)
// keyup is not compatible with Jquery select(), Keydown is.

event.key === "Enter"
More recent and much cleaner: use event.key. No more arbitrary number codes!
NOTE: The old properties (.keyCode and .which) are Deprecated.
const node = document.getElementsByClassName("input1")[0];
node.addEventListener("keyup", function(event) {
if (event.key === "Enter") {
// Do work
}
});
Modern style, with lambda and destructuring
node.addEventListener("keyup", ({key}) => {
if (key === "Enter") {
// Do work
}
})
If you must use jQuery:
$(document).keyup(function(event) {
if ($(".input1").is(":focus") && event.key == "Enter") {
// Do work
}
});
Mozilla Docs
Supported Browsers

$(document).keyup(function (e) {
if ($(".input1:focus") && (e.keyCode === 13)) {
alert('ya!')
}
});
Or just bind to the input itself
$('.input1').keyup(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode === 13) {
alert('ya!')
}
});
To figure out which keyCode you need, use the website http://keycode.info

Try this to detect the Enter key pressed in a textbox.
$(function(){
$(".input1").keyup(function (e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
// Enter key pressed
}
});
});

The best way I found is using keydown ( the keyup doesn't work well for me).
Note: I also disabled the form submit because usually when you like to do some actions when pressing Enter Key the only think you do not like is to submit the form :)
$('input').keydown( function( event ) {
if ( event.which === 13 ) {
// Do something
// Disable sending the related form
event.preventDefault();
return false;
}
});

It may be too late to answer this question. But the following code simply prevents the enter key. Just copy and paste should work.
<script type="text/javascript">
function stopRKey(evt) {
var evt = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null);
var node = (evt.target) ? evt.target : ((evt.srcElement) ? evt.srcElement : null);
if ((evt.keyCode == 13) && (node.type=="text")) {return false;}
}
document.onkeypress = stopRKey;
</script>

The solution that work for me is the following
$("#element").addEventListener("keyup", function(event) {
if (event.key === "Enter") {
// do something
}
});

Try this to detect the Enter key pressed in a textbox.
$(document).on("keypress", "input", function(e){
if(e.which == 13){
alert("Enter key pressed");
}
});
DEMO

A solution that worked for me is this:
<input onkeydown="if (event.key == 'Enter'){//do logic}else{}">

$(document).ready(function () {
$(".input1").keyup(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
// Do something
}
});
});

This code handled every input for me in the whole site. It checks for the ENTER KEY inside an INPUT field and doesn't stop on TEXTAREA or other places.
$(document).on("keydown", "input", function(e){
if(e.which == 13){
event.preventDefault();
return false;
}
});

Here is what I did for my angular project:
HTML:
<input
class="form-control"
[(ngModel)]="searchFirstName"
(keyup)="keyUpEnter($event)"
/>
TypeScript:
keyUpEnter(event: KeyboardEvent) {
if (event.key == 'Enter') {
console.log(event);
}
}

switching default keyevents actions after key combinations

I need to change default actions of two events.
When I press "enter" one action occurs, when I press "shift-enter" another. I need to switch it. I means if I press "enter" than "shift-enter" action occurs. I tried something like this but if doesn't work.
f(evt.keyCode == 13) {
if(!evt.shiftKey){
evt.preventDefault();
evt.shiftKey = true;
var e = jQuery.Event("keydown");
e.which = 13;
e.shiftKey = true;
$(wym._doc).trigger(e);
Is there any way to do it?

Here try this :
$(function() {
$('#myinput').keypress(function(e) {
if(e.shiftKey && e.which == 13) {
alert('shift enter');
} else if(e.which == 13) {
alert('enter');
}
});
});
