Submit a form with link as button using Enter key

Question

Hi i'm currentyl having an issue with a form on a website, im using a link instead of a button or an input to submit a form, but i cannot seem to make it submit when the user press the enter key, the Form values are being validated using javascript with the following format onsubmit="return function();"

Anybody knows how to make it submit on enter keypress ?

Thanks

Try capturing the event.keyCode property when hitting a key on the particular link.

   $('#example').keyup(function(event) {
      if(event.keyCode === 13) {
        //do what you want
        **EDIT:** $('$FormName').submit();
      }
   });
