Pressing the "Enter" button to submit a form?

I have a login form, and I'm trying to have it submit when I press the enter button (after having filled it out). I'm fine with using jQuery. How would I do this?

As long as you are focused on one of the fields and hit enter, it will submit. This is the default behavior for all browsers that I know of. You actually don't need the <input type="submit" /> as others have said, but of course you should (and probably do).

You only need javascript if you want this behavior without focusing on an input, but I would strongly advise against it because no one will be expecting it. Just let users interact with the form the way they are used to, no surprises.
