You can use the keycodes to detect which key was pressed. I have an example here:

jsFiddle

HTML

<form>
    <fieldset>
        <label for="target">Type Something:</label>
        <input id="target" type="text" />
    </fieldset>
</form>

JavaScript

$("#target").on("keypress", function(event){               
    if (event.keyCode === 13) {
        alert("The enter key was pressed");
        event.preventDefault();
    }
});

This is how I did it in my mobile app but was not with phonegap so not positive it will work, But worth a try.

   $('#target').submit(function (event) {
   event.preventDefault();
 alert(event.which);
}
