Bind textbox to 'enter' key

I have a search text box. I would like to get it submitted while pressing the enter key (when that text box is focused only). I am not using any submit button. Can this be accomplished using javascript?

As long as the <input> tag is inside a <form> tag, the form will be submitted automatically when the user presses the Enter key from within the text field. This is default behavior on all web browsers.

Yes, we can implement that using javascript. Write a javascript funciton and call it when you click the button. Using form.yourTextBoxId you can get the value from the text box.
