I have one text input and one button (see below). How can I use JavaScript to trigger the button's click event when the Enter key is pressed inside the text box?
There is already a different submit button on my current page, so I can't simply make the button a submit button. And, I only want the Enter key to click this specific button if it is pressed from within this one text box, nothing else.

In jQuery, the following would work:
$("#id_of_textbox").keyup(function(event) {
if (event.keyCode === 13) {
$("#id_of_button").click();
}
});
$("#pw").keyup(function(event) {
if (event.keyCode === 13) {
$("#myButton").click();
}
});
$("#myButton").click(function() {
alert("Button code executed.");
});

Or in plain JavaScript, the following would work:
document.getElementById("id_of_textbox")
.addEventListener("keyup", function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
if (event.keyCode === 13) {
document.getElementById("id_of_button").click();
}
});
document.getElementById("pw")
.addEventListener("keyup", function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
if (event.keyCode === 13) {
document.getElementById("myButton").click();
}
});
function buttonCode()
{
alert("Button code executed.");
}
