Well, you could do this in two ways, one is to actually make it into a
form and the do something when the submit have been activated.
The other way includes what you probably are looking for.
You want to read the key that have been pressed. For this you need to
register the keycode on the key down event on every input field inside
the div.
It should be something like this (although it have not been tested):
$('#myDiv :input').keydown(function(e){
if (e.keyCode==13) {
//do something when the enter key have been pressed - Enter key
have the keycode of 13
}
});
