In this article I will discuss how to capture
keyboard events using Jquery. This will help us to know the values of each
keystroke in the keyboard. Just follow the simple steps to write Jquery
function.
Steps to follow:
1. In HTML page add the following JS file in
between head tags(<head></head>)
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
2. After this add the following Javascript
function next to that reference file.
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
script
type="text/javascript"
language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$(document).live('keydown',
function (e) {
alert('The key value is : ' + e.which);
});
});
</script>
3. Then Run your HTML page in browser and hit
“ENTER” key you will get the result.
