The "onsubmit" should be in the <form> tag - try that. If you want to catch the enter key being hit in a text field, you should use a function that checks the key being pressed on keyup/keydown, such as:

function enterKeyHit (e)
    {
    if (e && e.keyCode == 13)
        {
        return true;
        }
    else
        {
        return false;
        }
    }

<input type="text" name="rowsPerPage" id="rowsPerPage" value="20" onkeyup="if (enterKeyHit(event)) {setHw();}"/>
