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

The easiest way that I do is:

$("#element").keydown(function(event) {
    if (event.keyCode == 13) {
        localiza_cep(this.value);
    }
});
