capture the enter key code and call the function which you need to search

this is what you need to include in your <body> tag for ENTER key

<body onkeypress="if(event.keyCode=='13'){search();}" )

this will call your search function when the user clicks on the ENTER key

i.e. user can hit "ENTER" key after entering some data in to the search field

thanks

or something like it.

You can call the command from some JS function to submit the form.

So, this doesn't require you to click a button.

<input type="image" src="submit.gif">
