Hitting "enter" button does not submit form in IE8

In our organization we're still using the IE8 standard. On one of our web-based applications, we noticed we could not submit forms via the Enter key. After searching the web, I stumbled across this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4629047/731052

While the jQuery solution does work, our users still get a "ding" whenever they press the Enter key. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? When I'm on sites like Google, I don't get any "dings" when I press enter. Thanks!

use this 

if (e.which == '13') {
    e.preventDefault();
   //then put your code
   }

Assuming you were using the code from the question that you have a link to

jQuery.fn.handle_enter_keypress = function() {
  if ($.browser.msie){
    $(this).find('input').keypress(function(e){
      // If the key pressed was enter
      if (e.which == '13') {
        $(this).closest('form')
        .find('button[type=submit],input[type=submit]')
        .filter(':first').click();
      }
    });
  }
}
