You can execute a function by pressing the enter key in a field using the key event in JavaScript. If the user presses the button use the keydown to get know its enter button or not. If it enters the key then call the JavaScript function.
Call javascript function on “Enter” keypress event in textbox example
HTML example code: checks whether the pressed key is “Enter”, if pressed then call function.
Or check event.keyCode == 13 to determine the ‘enter’ keypress.
