keydown event not working the same as button click

Time:01-25

When I press the search button the sendTitle() function works perfectly, but when I press the enter key (keyCode == 13), the sendTitle() function throws the catch error response (alert cannot connect) every time. I am wondering if anyone knows why it does not work when I press enter on the form input. I put my code in a jsFiddle here. Thank you!

var sendTitle = function() {
  var title = $("input[name='movie-search-title']").val();
  console.log(title)
  getMovie(title)
  getQuotes(title)
}
$("input[name='movie-search-title']").keydown(function(e) {
  e.preventDefault
  if (e.keyCode == 13) {
    sendTitle();
  }
})
// movie search 
var getMovie = function(title) {
  $("#main").removeClass("hidden");
  $("#search-form").trigger("reset");
  //format the OMDB api url

CodePudding user response:

You need to make a small change;

First it's e.preventDefault() not e.preventDefault

Second, move it into the if statement like:

if (e.keyCode == 13) {
  e.preventDefault();
  sendTitle();
}
