rated 0 times [ 163] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 18645 / 11 Years ago, tue, january 14, 2014, 12:00:00

I would like to automatically add the selected value when enter key is pressed on chosen jquery single select. So, for that is there any event like keypress which I would use to do something when return key was pressed?

<select id=myselect data-placeholder=Add foods you can buy here. 

style=height:30px; width: 100% class=chosen-select onkeypress=handle(event) >

<option value=></option>

<optgroup label=blah>

<option>blah blah</option>

</optgroup>

</select>

Bind the keyup event on the jquery chosen dropdown, after chosen in initialized.

Depending upon the version either you need to use .chosen-container or .chzn-container.

$(.chosen-select).chosen({});



$(.chosen-container).bind('keyup',function(e) {

    if(e.which === 13) {

        $('#myform').submit();

        // or your stuff here...

    }

});
