Handling Enter key in text input field?

[John English]

Is there a way to catch the Enter key being pressed in a text field?
I want to submit the form if Enter is pressed in a particular field.
I have more than one form on the page, each with a submit button but
more than one text field each.

TIA,

<form ...>
<label ...>Press enter in this field to submit form...</label>
<input type="text" ... onkeypress="handleKeyPress(event,this.form)">
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
function handleKeyPress(e,form){
var key=e.keyCode || e.which;
if (key==13){
form.submit();
}
}
</script>

HTH,
