i am trying to disable the enter keypress in a form inside a joomla module but i cannot get it to work... This is the code is have.
<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>
<form id="searchbox" action="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php'); ?>" method="post" role="search">
<input type="text" value="" name="searchword" placeholder="<?php echo JText::_('TPL_WARP_SEARCH'); ?>" />
<button type="reset" value="Reset"></button>
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="search" />
<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_search" />
<input type="hidden" name="Itemid" value="<?php echo $itemid > 0 ? $itemid : JRequest::getInt('Itemid'); ?>" />
</form>
<script src="<?php echo $warp['path']-> url('js:search.js'); ?>"></script>
<script>
jQuery(function($) {
$('#searchbox input[name=searchword]').search({'url': '<?php echo JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_search&tmpl=raw&type=json&ordering=& searchphrase=all");?>', 'param': 'searchword', 'msgResultsHeader': '<?php echo JText::_("TPL_WARP_SEARCH_RESULTS"); ?>', 'msgMoreResults': '<?php echo JText::_("TPL_WARP_SEARCH_MORE"); ?>', 'msgNoResults': '<?php echo JText::_("TPL_WARP_SEARCH_NO_RESULTS"); ?>'}).placeholder();
});
</script>
I tried different scripts but no luck so far...

Answer 1

Use event.preventDefault() it prevent default action of the event.
http://api.jquery.com/event.preventDefault/

Answer 2

("input").live("keypress", function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
event.preventDefault();
return false; // prevent the button click from happening event.preventDefault() or return false, either one is enough
}
});

Answer 3

Change this in html search button :
<input type="text" class="searchButton" value="" name="searchword" placeholder="<?php echo JText::_('TPL_WARP_SEARCH'); ?>" />
Then in script :
$(".searchButton").click(e){
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
return false; // prevent the button click from happening
e.preventDefault(); // prevent default html form submit
}
}
