onkeypress

I'm not asking this because I need a work-a-around. I have one that works fine, but I want to know WHY it doesn't. Is this bug in javascript (or JQuery because I was using the JQuery .keypress handler) or is there a specific reason why this is so? Thanks in advance. The keypress event is designed for handling a character typed by the user rather than detecting keyboard activity and the delete and backspace keys do not generate characters. Some browsers blur this line somewhat but the general principle is that the keyup and keydown events are there to detect any key being pressed and telling

I'm trying to override the functionality of the back key press. When the user presses it once, I want it to come back to the previous screen. However, when the back key is long-pressed (for, let's say, two seconds or more), I want to exit the application.

When I press tab, it's 0 , and when I press escape, it's 0 . Argh! This was working properly yesterday, and something has changed somewhere else in the project to affect this - but I'm not sure what it could be. It really seems like no relevant changes have been made in the last day. If instead I handle a KeyUpEvent , this works as expected. I'm

This question already has an answer here: Binding arrow keys in JS/jQuery 16 answers I want to give my content slider the ability to respond to keypress (LEFT ARROW key and RIGHT ARROW key) feature. I have read about some conflicts between several browsers and operation systems. The user can navigate the content while he is on the global website (body). Pseudo Code: ON Global Document IF Key Press LEFT ARROW THEN animate #showroom css 'left' -980px IF Key Press RIGHT ARROW THEN animate #showroom css 'left' +980px I need a solution without any crossover (Browsers, OSs) conflicts. $("body")
