How can i track what the users type without a input field? (jQuery)

Question

All that the user is typing must be inserted to a div instead of a input field or a textarea.

Btw. the user don't have to click anywhere to start typing, the user can just do it without any action.

Sorry if it isn't understandable. (I'm not very good at english).

Thanks in advance.

Each key is associated with a keycode:

$(window).bind("keypress", function(e) {
  var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which); // which code?
  alert(String.fromCharCode(code)); // which key, according to the code?
});
