JavaScript/jQuery: Keypress for keyboard navigation (event.which doesn't work)?

JQuery normalizes event. Which (see: api.jquery. Com/event.

Which ), so that's all you need.

Event. Which normalization isn't working – Key Press Aug 25 '10 at 18:15.

Please refer to this thread related to your issue. In general, I often argue for . Which, as it will allow you to keep track of both charCodes and keyCodes.Event.

Which was built into jQuery in order to normalize those different methodologies. You can find more information about keyCodes here.

Refer to jQuery API for documentation on keypress(), which you can bind. api.jquery.com/keypress/ Also, here is a good walkthrough for making a keypress navigation using jquery: net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-aj... EDIT: Important/more relevant lines from the API: If key presses anywhere need to be caught (for example, to implement global shortcut keys on a page), it is useful to attach this behavior to the document object. Because of event bubbling, all key presses will make their way up the DOM to the document object unless explicitly stopped.To determine which character was entered, we can examine the event object that is passed to the handler function.

While browsers use differing attributes to store this information, jQuery normalizes the . Which attribute so we can reliably use it to retrieve the character code. Note that keydown and keyup provide a code indicating which key is pressed, while keypress indicates which character was entered.

For example, a lowercase "a" will be reported as 65 by keydown and keyup, but as 97 by keypress. An uppercase "A" is reported as 65 by all events. Because of this distinction, when catching special keystrokes such as arrow keys, .keydown() or .keyup() is a better choice.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
