Trigger Keypress with jQuery

Question

On the Definitive Trigger Keypress jQuery thread there is no working JSFiddle for the answer, and the code that is there doesn\'t work for me.

$(\"button\")         


        

Answer 1

SublimeVideo is a HTML5 player, correct. If so, you can mute it by using a property, right?

$("video#yourVideoTagId").prop("muted", true);

Answer 2

Using trigger you are just triggering the event with a keycode but not assigning the value to the textbox. Try this :- http://jsfiddle.net/PbHD2/

String.fromCharCode

$("button").click(function() {
     $("input").focus();
    var e = jQuery.Event("keydown");
    e.which = 77; // # Some key code value
    $("input").val(String.fromCharCode(e.which));
    $("input").trigger(e);
});
$('input').keydown(function(e){
   console.log('Yes keydown triggered. ' + e.which)
});
