Change Enter from submission to Tab?

by

This just feels icky, but you could use event.preventDefault as you mentioned and then call focus() on the next closest input:

Here’s a simple example:

$("input").bind("keydown", function(event) {
    if (event.which === 13) {
        event.stopPropagation();
        event.preventDefault();
        $(this).next("input").focus();
    }
});

Update: If you have elements in between your inputs, using plain next() will not work. Instead, use nextAll():

$("input").bind("keydown", function(event) {
    if (event.which === 13) {
        event.stopPropagation();
        event.preventDefault();
        $(this).nextAll("input").eq(0).focus();
    }
});
