I have a problem I can't seem to sort out.
I have a form with a custom styled button (input type=button). When typing in the text field, I want people to be able to press the TAB key and go to the button. However, it won't use a tab-index so my solution was to highlight the label and change the CSS to give the button a new border color. However, the border color will not change on keypress in any browser other than Firefox.
Here is what I have:
$(function() {
$("#email").bind("keypress", function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
send();
return false;
};
if (e.keyCode == 9) {
$("#submit_btn").removeClass('submit1').addClass('submit1after');
};
});
};
The first enter keypress is to serialize and email the form and all.
I can't seem to get it to work for the life of me. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better solution to what I'm trying to accomplish?
Thanks for taking the time,
Armik
Use keydown instead, for me that works (see demo: http://jsfiddle.net/npGtX/2/)
$(function () {
$("#email").bind("keydown", function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
send();
return false;
};
if (e.keyCode == 9) {
$("#submit_btn").removeClass('submit1').addClass('submit1after');
};
});
};
Also I found this: Suppressing keyPress for non-character keys?
keypress is not necessarily triggered when the keypress is not a
character. So the browser may not trigger an event on backspace, F1,
the down key, etc.
You can use the keyup event and event object's which property, jQuery normalizes the which property and it's cross-browser:
$(function() {
$("#email").bind("keyup", function(e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
send();
return false;
};
if (e.which == 9) {
$("#submit_btn").toggleClass('submit1 submit1after');
};
});
};
$(function() {
$("#email").keypress(function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13 || e.which== 13) {
send();
return false;
};
if (e.keyCode == 9 || e.which== 9) {
$("#submit_btn").removeClass('submit1').addClass('submit1after');
};
});
};

I want to catch spacebar and below did catch it. However it's tied to document, the catch will trigger even if I press spacebar when I'm typing in an input box. How to exclude that?
$(document).keypress(function(e) {
if(e.which == 32) {
alert('trigger');
}
});
You can use nodeName to catch the event source:
http://jsfiddle.net/t8jqb2rq/
//Array of sources you want to include
var includeIn = ['BODY','TEXTAREA'];
$(document).keypress(function(e) {
if(e.which == 32 && includeIn.indexOf(e.target.nodeName) != -1) {
alert('trigger');
}
});
I have an input and an appended button. The click on button calls some function. But I don't want this function to be called when user 'presses enter key'. On the other hand, I want on keyup in this input to call some other function. SO I put
$(document).on('keyup', '#id', function(e){
call();//calling some function
if (e.which == 13 || event.keyCode == 13) {
e.preventDefault();//I also tried to return false
}
});
But it doesn't seem to work, someone has an idea ?
$(document).on('keyup', '#id', function(e){
if (event.keyCode != 13) {
e.preventDefault();
call();//calling some function
}
return false;
});
Try this:
$(document).on('keyup', '#id', function(e){
if (e.which == 13 || e.keyCode == 13) {
e.preventDefault();//I also tried to return false
}else{
call();//calling some function
}
});
Don't use keyup, since the form is send on keydown.
Have you tried switch .call() function to a simple alert(), just for tests purpose. #Oyeme and #Jai code seems to work properly.
$("#username,#password").keypress(function(e)
{
//alert('');
if(e.keyCode == 13)
{
signIn();
}
});
The keypress event not calling if the enter button is pressed.
Try using keyUp event.
Live Demo
$("#username,#password").keyup(function(e){
//alert('');
if(e.keyCode == 13)
{
signIn();
}
});
This is also working with keypress
Live Demo
$("#txt1").keypress(function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
//signIn();
alert("keypress");
}
});
Key down is more appropriate:
$("#username,#password").keydown(function(e){
if(e.keyCode == 13)
{
signIn();
}
});
Use e.which instead of e.keyCode because this is what jQuery guarantees to be on event
Try e.preventDefault(), because without it (if they are in a form) the form submits
Maybe the best would be listening on form's submit event
Are you sure it's not the signIn (); function that's faulty? Because this seems to work just fine; http://jsfiddle.net/vDkBs/1/
Use keypress and which statement:
$("#username,#password").keypress(function(e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
//call here your function
}
});
I have this CSS3 enter button
here:
If you click it, it seems like it's pressed. I want to achieve the same effect (probably using jQuery), by pressing the enter key physically on my keyboard.
I did something like this: (sorry if it's completely wrong, I don't do jQuery at all)
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("enter").keypress(function(event){
if(event.keyCode == 13){
$(this).toggleClass(".button-clicked");
}
});
});
</script>
The CSS selector for the unpressed button is:
.button and .button.orange {}
The CSS selector for the pressed button is:
.button:active, .button-clicked {}
Thanks for your help!
I haven't tested this, but I think you should be able to do something like
I have just tested this (and linked to a demo, below the jQuery), and it works pretty well:
$('body').keydown(
function(e){
if (e.which == 13) { // enter
$('buttonSelector').addClass('button-clicked');
}
}).keyup(
function(e){
if (e.which == 13) { // enter
$('buttonSelector').removeClass('button-clicked');
}
});
JS Fiddle demo.
With this the keydown causes the button to appear pressed so long as the enter key is pressed, and, on release, triggers the keyup() handler, changing the style of the button so as to appear un-clicked.
Refined the above, somewhat, using on(), though having to use an if/else if statement to check the function type:
$('body').on('keydown keyup', function(e) {
if (e.type == 'keydown') {
if (e.which == 13) { // enter
$('#button').addClass('button-clicked');
}
}
else if (e.type == 'keyup') {
if (e.which == 13) { // enter
$('#button').removeClass('button-clicked');
}
}
});
JS Fiddle demo.

keyup().

You are trying to apply the keypress to an <enter></enter> element (which doesn't exist), try doing this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("body").keypress(function(event){
if(event.keyCode == 13){
$(".button").toggleClass("button-clicked");
}
});
});
</script>
Close but how about this:
//bind to the `keydown` event when the `document` is focused
$(document).on('keydown', function (event) {
//if enter is pressed
if (event.keyCode == 13) {
//add the `.button-clicked` class to any element with the `.button` class
$('.button').addClass('button-clicked');
}
}).on('keyup', function (event) {
if (event.keyCode == 13) {
$('.button').removeClass('button-clicked');
}
});
Here is a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/jasper/T5yEu/2/
Notice that I added !important to the .button-clicked class on several of the rules to make sure they are added to the element.
How to overwrite or remove key events, that is on a website? I'm writing a script for GreaseMonkey and I want to make event on Enter button, but when I press the ENTER button, it triggers function on website.
EDIT 1: Here is the website, that I need to do this http://lockerz.com/auth/express_signup
One of these two should do it for you. I used the first one, although someone on SO told me the second one will work also. I went for the hammer.
Sorry, first one wasn't a cut and paste answer. I use using it to return up/down arrow control on a website. I changed it so that it identifies keycode 13 instead.
(function() {
function keykiller(event) {
if (event.keyCode == 13 )
{
event.cancelBubble = true;
event.stopPropagation();
return false;
}
}
window.addEventListener('keypress', keykiller, true);
window.addEventListener('keydown', keykiller, true);
})();
Searching quickly on SO:
jQuery Event Keypress: Which key was pressed?
Code from there:
var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
if(code == 13) { //Enter keycode
//Do something
}
Without a library, use: http://jsfiddle.net/4FBJV/1/.
document.addEventListener('keypress', function(e) {
if(e.keyCode === 13) {
alert('Enter pressed');
return false;
}
});
