Javascript click an input field and enter

Question

Is it possible in javascript or Jquery to click on an input field in my case:

<input id="search" type="text" placeholder="...">

and push Enter

_"and push Enter"_ ? Not certain what Question is ? What is expected result ? — guest271314, Mar 16 '16 at 14:08
I think you need focus() and blur() functions for input. Both are jquery function — Aju John, Mar 16 '16 at 14:12

Hm not really, I do want to have this sign '|' (not sure how to explain it better) blinking when I click on the input field — John Does Legacy, Mar 16 '16 at 14:17
@JohnDoesLegacy What, exactly, is your desired outcome here? — Lewis, Mar 16 '16 at 14:19

I think you want to submit the form when the input is clicked so:

var input = document.querySelector('input'),
    form = document.querySelector('form');

input.addEventListener('click', function(){
    form.submit();
});

yes but its not a form to submit its just a textfield to "submit" ( pushing enter key) – John Does Legacy Mar 17 '16 at 07:46
There's no such thing as submitting an input, pushing the enter key submits the form. – Gho5t Mar 17 '16 at 14:32

In terms of a form you can use JQuery post and get methods Example. $(#id).click(function (){ $.post("url", {variable}); });
