Line break when submitting form

I'm having an issue with my chat bot app where a line break is being inserted into the form after the user is pressing the submit button. To clarify, the message is being sent, but then creating a line break so the user has to backspace for the form to be completely empty. 

var enableEnterKey = function() {
$(document).keypress(function(e) {
    if($('#maxx-message-box').is(':focus') && e.keyCode === 13) {
        var message = $('#maxx-message-box').val();
        sendMessage(message);
    }
});

This is our function. Please help.

You probably need something like:

$("#maxx-message-box").keypress(function (e) {
    if (e.keyCode != 13) return;
    var message = $("#maxx-message-box").val().replace(/\n/g, "");
    if (!!message)
    {
        sendMessage(message);
        $("#maxx-message-box").val("");
    }
    return false;
});
