EnterKey is not working sometimes in IE8, using jQuery's keyPressed?

Try this: $('#message'). Keyup(function(e){ if(e. KeyCode == 13){ //your code probably want e.preventDefault() as well } }) I've found keypress implementation to not be so cross-browser friendly.

Just a thought Edit : I now remember why this doesn't work in IE8. The enter key (keycode 13) is considered a "Special Key" (as well as others like arrow keys on the keyboard) IE does NOT fire a keypress event for "Special Keys" which is why I had to use keyup You can find more info here: quirksmode.org/dom/events/keys.html Look under "Special Keys.

E. Which doesn't work in IE try e. KeyCode, also you probably want to use keydown() instead of keypress() if you are targeting IE.

See unixpapa.com/js/key.html for more information. JQuery keypress() event not firing?

Thank you @Mike C. – Jessu Mar 5 at 13:30.

I've encountered this too, particularly with tables using an onKeyDown() in IE7. Other keys fire fine but enter is tricky. I solved mine by moving my onkeydown() trigger about in the HTML, from certain locations it wouldnt pick up enter but would gather others.

If I recall I had it originally in the body tag and moving it to a just inside the body immediately allowed me to detect enter. I was using jsp with a switch but I don't think its a great deal different.

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.
