Hi all,

I have a form with html text boxes and one submit button. Part of code is like below:

HTML

<div>
<input id="add" type="text" style="width: 40%" />
<button id="btnAdd" type="submit" data-bind="click: $root.AddGoal">Add</button>
</div>

But as its a submit button, whenever pressing enter key its calling btnAdd click event. But my need is to call the button click event when only press enter key in #add text control.

Need to write some javascript code according to your submit button and textbox.
Javascript Code:

JavaScript

<script type="text/javascript">
    function clickSubmitButton(e) {
        if (e.keyCode == 13) {
            document.getElementById("Your submit button id here").click();
        }
    }
</script>

Then need some change in your code:

XML

<div>
<input id="add" onkeypress="clickSubmitButton(event)" type="text" style="width: 40%" />
<button id="btnAdd" type="submit" data-bind="click: $root.AddGoal">Add</button>
</div>

Try this...

You have a div element with two controls inside. You need to wrap it into a form element to get it to work. Check it out here:

Good luck!
