How to capture the onscreen keyboard 'keydown' and 'keyup' events for touch devices
I have defined keyboard events which is working good in desktop but for touch devices not getting the onscreen keyboard event. I need to capture if user is typing. I have used the following segment of code : $('#id').keydown(function(e){ //some code here }); $('#id').keyup(function(e){ //some code here }) I want the code defined in keydown and keyup to trigger even for touch devices (both tablets and mobiles). Please suggest how to capture the onscreen keyboard event and make the above code to run. Have you tried using key press instead of key down $("#id").keypress(function() { }); Updated :
