How to implement a Hitting Return that causes a form to submit

Question

Hi all
I'm giving a look on internet and it's not so simple with jsf as call document.forms['myForm'].submit();
Jsf uses something like this
if(typeof jsfcljs == 'function'){jsfcljs(document.forms['mainForm'],'mainForm:fireSearch4Indexes,mainForm:fireSearch4Indexes','');}return false
on <a> onclick element
I'm using also a4j that includes other code on this I think
someone knows how can I achieve that.
thanks a lot

I have a similar problem and partially solved it with jQuery. I attach a key listener to each input field and fire the click event of the submit button if Enter is pressed. Some of my forms (with only one input field) does not work correctly with this and the form is submitted via form action instead of the onclick A4J event :-/
jQuery(".search input:text").keypress(function(e) {
                if (e.which == 13 || e.keyCode == 13) { // ENTER-Key
                      jQuery(".btnSearch").click();
});
