How to disable only submit form with ENTER

Question

Following my code:

<form action="test.php"> <input type="text" onkeyup="if(event.keyCode==13) console.log('something');"/> <input type="submit"/> </form>

How to disable submit of form with ENTER key and run correctly the onkeyup with pure javascript?

It's works inline, but not if onkeyup calls a function... jsfiddle.net/wrhSy — user2992868

return false will prevent from submitting

if( event.keyCode== 13 ) { console.log('something'); return false; }
