I don't know if that is possible as when you are in a text box, the behavior
on hitting return may vary from one text field to another. For a textarea it
will go to the next line and if on the last line it will expand to another
new line. If a plain text field, hitting enter may activate the default
submit button.
You can use things like onclick but I don't think the enter key is usable.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Subject: E: quick js question about calling functions
I would like to call the function when the enter key is pressed
in an input box (input type="text"). I know about how to do it
with buttons and links, but not with textboxes; it should not be
a clickable object; I just want the user to be able to hit enter
and have the function called. Thanks.
Have a great day,
Alex
