Input Fires Keypress Event Twice

Question

This question has been asked/answered (mostly) before, BUT I\'ve tried three things to stop the event from bubbling but nothing has worked:

return false;
e.stopPr         


        

Answer 1

This is a problem which always drives me insane but i think this is the solution simply return false, if you return true it repeats it self randomly so im guessing it must have a listener which listens out for true responses.

Short Answer Add return false;

$("#register-form #first_name").keyup(function(event) {
console.log('hello world');
return false;

});

in the original question if you look at the code closely is seems the return false was written one line too early.
