login block without a “log in” button

Question

I want to create a very minimal login block and thus wouldn't like to have the "log in" button at all. I would like to have only the username and password fields, and log on by hitting "enter".

I have added display:none CSS property to the button, but this will stop form from being submitted. What else could be done ?

Answer 1

The jquery approach to achieve this one which worked for me (drupal 7) is the following code

$("#edit-pass").keypress(function(event) {
  if ( event.which == 13 ) {
    $('#edit-submit').click();
   }

});

$("#edit-name").keypress(function(event) {
  if ( event.which == 13 ) {
    $('#edit-submit').click();
}});

#edit-name and #edit-pass are my two login fields.
