disable enter key on specific textboxes

I was looking for a way to do this, got a few scripts, but none of them is working for me.

When I hit enter in my textboxes, it shouldn't do anything.

I have tried a few JavaScript and jQuery scripts, but nothing is working for me.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#comment').keypress(function(event) {
        if (event.keyCode == 13) {
            event.preventDefault();
        }
    });

    $('#comment').keyup(function() {
        var txt = $('#comment').val();
        $('#comment').val(txt.replace(/[\n\r]+/g, " "));
    });
});

This works for me.

$('textarea').keypress(function(event) {
    if (event.keyCode == 13) {
        event.preventDefault();
    }
});

jsFiddle.

Your second piece looks like it is designed to capture people pasting in multiple lines. In that case, you should bind it to keyup paste.

If you want to prevent Enter key for specific textbox then use inline js.

<input type="text" onkeydown="return (event.keyCode!=13);"/>

It stops user to press Enter in Textbox & here I return false which prevent form to submit.

$(document).ready(function()
    {
        // Stop user to press enter in textbox
        $("input:text").keypress(function(event) {
            if (event.keyCode == 13) {
                event.preventDefault();
                return false;
            }
        });
});
