Linking 'Enter' key to button - not working

I'm using some jQuery to link the Enter key to an HTML button using the following code:

$("#console").keyup(function(event){
    if(event.keyCode == 13) {
        $("#submit").click();
    }
});

HTML:

<input autocomplete="off" type="text" id="console" placeholder="/help, /attack, /heal, /flee" autofocus></input>

<input type="submit" onclick="play()" id="submit" value="Enter"></input>

For some reason, it's not working for me right now. There's no error message, it seems like the jQuery doesn't even run.

What am I doing wrong? Do I have to replace event with something?

Solution

  • Err... a beginner's mistake...

    I forgot to use:

    $(document).ready(function() {

});

    Nothing provoked the code to run in the first place so it never worked. Noticed it in Teemu's fiddle.
