Jquery prevent ONLY submit on enter -

why code works alert line commented, dont work when not commented?

i want block form submit, allow other functions on enter (example, $.get() in other page). sorry bad english.

$(document).ready(function() {     $('#txtpesquisaservidor').keydown(function(event){         if(event.keycode == 13) {             //alert('enter!');             event.preventdefault();             return false;         }     }); }); 

i'm using jquery 1.6.2.

edit: done! problem alert https://jsfiddle.net/o0mkjnwk/1/

instead of using .keydown() method, try using .on('keypress', function...

see following fiddle working example: http://jsfiddle.net/p1agoka1/

edit: see you're using jquery 1.6.2. .on() event handler requires @ least 1.7.0. there reason why you're using such old version?

if have other older code not work newer version of jquery, try implement jquery migrate re-enables older features of jquery not present in up-to-date versions. https://github.com/jquery/jquery-migrate/
