Confirm Jquery UI Dialog Prompt on Enter Key

Question

I've tried the techniques suggested in the following stack answer to no luck:

Submit jQuery UI dialog on <Enter>

Something must be off with my code. On login, I have a disclaimer that pops up to warn the user that the information found within the site is confidential. I would like it so that to continue, all the user has to do is hit the enter key. Here is my original code (I've included a browser check):

  $("#loginForm").submit(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    if ($.browser.msie) {
        $("#dialog-confirm")
        .dialog({
            resizable: false,
            height: 300,
            width: 550,
            modal: true,
            buttons: {
                "Continue": function (e) {
                    $("#loginForm").unbind('submit').submit(),
                    $(this).dialog("close"),
                    $("#loginForm").submit();
                    $("#btnLogin").click();
                },
                Cancel: function (e) {
                    e.preventDefault();
                    $(this).dialog("close");
                }
            }

        })
    }
    else {
        $("#dialog-browser")
        .dialog({
            resizable: false,
            height: 220,
            width: 480,
            modal: true,
            buttons: {
                "Close": function (e) {
                    e.preventDefault();
                    $(this).dialog("close");
                }
            }
        })
    };
});

Now here is my code with the keyup commands:

$("#loginForm").submit(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    if ($.browser.msie) {
        $("#dialog-confirm")
        .dialog({
            resizable: false,
            height: 300,
            width: 550,
            modal: true,
            buttons: {
                "Continue": function (e) {
                    $("#loginForm").unbind('submit').submit(),
                    $(this).dialog("close"),
                    $("#loginForm").submit();
                    $("#btnLogin").click();
                },
                Cancel: function (e) {
                    e.preventDefault();
                    $(this).dialog("close");
                }
            },
  HERE>>>      open: function() { 
                $("#dialog-confirm").keypress(function(e) { 
                  if (e.keyCode == $.ui.keyCode.ENTER) { 
                    $("#loginForm").unbind('submit').submit(),
                    $(this).dialog("close"),
                    $("#loginForm").submit();
                    $("#btnLogin").click(); 
                  } 
                }); 
              } 
        })
    }
    else {
        $("#dialog-browser")
        .dialog({
            resizable: false,
            height: 220,
            width: 480,
            modal: true,
            buttons: {
                "Close": function (e) {
                    e.preventDefault();
                    $(this).dialog("close");
                }
            }
        })
    };
});

This unfortunately is not working for me and I can't for the life of me figure out why? If anyone can see where the issue is, I'd be extremely grateful!

Thanks!!

If you don't have any elements in the dialog that will get focus (i.e: input elements), you can try the approach suggested in this question: jquery-ui Dialog: Make a button in the dialog the default action (Enter key)

I put this aside for most of the day and just revisited it. I got it working! Here's my code:

$("#loginForm").submit(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    if ($.browser.msie) {
        $("#dialog-confirm")
        .dialog({
            resizable: false,
            height: 300,
            width: 550,
            modal: true,
            buttons: {
                "Continue": {
                    text: "Continue",
                    id: "btnContinue",
                    click: function (e) {
                        $("#loginForm").unbind('submit').submit(),
                        $(this).dialog("close"),
                        $("#loginForm").submit();
                        $("#btnLogin").click();
                    }
                },
                Cancel: function (e) {
                    e.preventDefault();
                    $(this).dialog("close");
                }
            },
            open: function () {
                $(document).keydown(function (event) {
                    if (event.keyCode == 13) {
                        $("#btnContinue").click();
                    }
                });
            }
        })
    }

Essentially, I assigned the button in my dialog an ID value, and instead of $("#dialog-confirm").keydown I used $(document).keydown. Since the function is set only after the dialog opens, it won't necessarily affect the rest of my page. Inside of the keydown function, I have it hitting the continue button of which I call out by ID.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Try using this:

$("#dialog-confirm").keydown(function (event) {
        if (event.keyCode == 13) {
            // Submit it
        }
    });
