preventDefault() on keyup event not working

Question

I cannot get preventDefault() to work.

Here are some different code variations I have tried:

First:

$(document).keyup(function (evt)         


        

Answer 1

see working example here http://jsfiddle.net/WGSvm/

In all three examples you have used

$(document).keyup(function (evt) {  });

I would say use particular div id instead of $(document).keyup(function (evt) { });

like $("#DivIdName").keyup(function (evt) { }); and also use onkeypress strictly, because if you use onkeyup it has already executed its default task of printing or whatever it is.
