Submit a form or simulate enter / return being pressed

Question

I know, with jQuery, it is possible to check a checkbox, but us it possible to submit a form. Not handle the submission / submitted data, but simulate the submit button being clicked— or if possible the enter / return key being pressed?

Yes, it is possible, and you don't even need the button:

$("form").submit();

If you have the submit button then you can emulate by using trigger in some other event's code.

 $('#submit_button_id').trigger('click');

Of course but you need to specify an even at which you want to simulate the action . I suppose that you want it to be the press of enter key .. the code will be

$(document).keypress(function(e){ if (e.which == 13){ $("#submit").trigger('click'); } }); $("#submit").click(function(){ // do your stuff })
