get key value press

Question

hi all

I Want get key value on keyPress with jQuery In textbox

Answer 1

Use the keypress event as described here; there's an example on that page showing how to get the key code:

$('#target').keypress(function(event) {
  if (event.keyCode == '13') {
     event.preventDefault();
   }
   xTriggered++;
   var msg = 'Handler for .keypress() called ' + xTriggered + ' time(s).';
  $.print(msg, 'html');
  $.print(event);
});

You want the event.keyCode part.

This page may also be useful, it describes some "gotchas" around cross-browser keypress handling. jQuery may smooth some of those out for you, but good to be aware of them.

Answer 2

$('#textbox').keypress(function(e) {
    var code = e.keyCode || e.which;
});
