I'm trying to create a little search box that allows you to search Twitter based on the keyword you enter in the input field. While it's work, it only works if you press the
Submit button. I would also like to be able to press the Enter or Return key to initiate the search. I've tried using the .sumbit function and wrapping my input around a
form element with no success. Any insight would be greatly appreciate!

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
function(data) {
$('#startSearch').click(function(){
$('#tweets .results').remove();
var searchTerm = 'http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=' + $('#twitterSearch').val() + '&callback=?'
$.getJSON(searchTerm, function(data) {
$.each(data.results, function() {
$('<div class="results"></div>')
.hide()
.append('<a class="userPicLink" href="http://twitter.com/' + this.from_user + '">' + '<img class="userImg" src="' + this.profile_image_url + '">' + '</a>')
.append('<span class="userName">' + '<a href="http://twitter.com/' + this.from_user + '">' + this.from_user + '</span>')
.append('<span class="userText">' + this.text + '</span>')
.append('<time class="textTime">' + relTime(this.created_at) + '</time>')
.appendTo('#tweets')
.fadeIn();
});
});
</script>
