Trigger Enter Event on keypressed Javasccript

I want my textbox trigger an event through enter and runs a function, here's my input form and pretend the submitting of form is disabled...

<input type="text" name="webURL" value="" id="urlField" onkeypress="enterKey(event){ checkURL(this) }" />

Now after inputting something on text box, and enter was triggered by this enter event verification below:

function enterKey(e){
        var keycode = e.which ? e.which : e.keyCode;
        if(keycode == 13){
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

Whenever it verifies that the user trigger enter it returns true otherwise false. I think i'm messing something on the input form keypress function. Anyone can tell me how to do that to make it work and run the checkURL() function?

onkeypress="if(enterKey(event)){ checkURL(this) }"

But it's a better practice separate js from markup. Using a js frameworks, such as jQuery, helps a lot..
