Enter key to respond in a text box
I want a text box which is password type should be able to respond an enter key i.e; on pressing the enter key another page needs to be called. I am also not able to trap the ASCII values of keys pressed from the keyboard in Javascript.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
My solution will work in any browser, although it wasn't really what you asked.
PS: A form with a single text/password field will submit with the enter in most browsers without the JavaScript:
<FORM...>
<INPUT TYPE="PASSWORD">
</FORM>
but IE3 (last time I looked) will not submit the form if there is one more entry field on the page (even if it is not in the same form)
All the 'normal' keys are passed in e.which or window.event.keyCode and can be trapped. The 13 is the enter key
<FORM...>
<INPUT TYPE="PASSWORD">

Rafi: Stop submitting at the same time as me ;-)

Michel's last comment seems to me to be an optimal solution if it works. However I would prefer to have the button there for people who like clicking buttons - it makes the user interface more intuitive.

<form action="whatever">
<input type="password" name="password" size=10>
<input type="submit" value="OK">
