jQuery: textbox keyup firing twice

Question

I\'m having a textbox and assigned the following function (it\'s the only function assigned):

txt.bind(\"keyup\",function(event){
    if(event.keyCode==13)
          


        

Answer 1

I'm embarrassed to even mention this, but I was typing a capital letter into my textbox and so the release of my shift key was causing the supposed "second firing" of the keyup event. Turns out it wasn't a second firing at all, but it just fooled me into thinking it was for while. At first I thought the unbind trick mentioned above simply wasn't working for me, but it was. I hope this helps others like me that might have done the same thing. Now I simply make sure I always check that its not just the shift key being released in the handling of my event and all is well again.
