ASP.NET Call javascript function on enter key press

Question

I have an ASP.NET page with some text boxes meant for searching purpose. Now I want to invoke a javascript function which is already written, when the user press the enter key. I am having jQuery in my page.

Any easy ways to do this ?

Using jQuery:

$('#someid').keydown(function(event) {
    if (event.keyCode == 10 || event.keyCode == 13) {
        SomeFunctionName();
    }
});

I would add the onkeydown attribute to the text box and apply the function like this example.

function TextName_OnKeyDown(e)
{		
    var keynum;					
    if(window.event) // IE				
    {
        keynum = e.keyCode;
    }
    else if(e.which) // Netscape/Firefox/Opera
    {
        keynum = e.which;
    }	
  
    document.getElementById("keynum").innerHTML = keynum;
					
    if (keynum == 13) 
    {
        document.getElementById("keynum").innerHTML += " SearchByName();";
    }
}

<input type="text" ID="TextName" onkeydown="javascript:TextName_OnKeyDown(event)">
<p id="keynum"></p>
