jQuery Event Keypress: Which key was pressed?

Question

With jQuery, how do I find out which key was pressed when I bind to the keypress event?

$(\'#searchbox input\').bind(\'keypress\', function(e) {});
         


        

Answer 1

$(document).bind('keypress', function (e) {
    console.log(e.which);  //or alert(e.which);

});

you should have firbug to see a result in console
