jQuery Keypress Arrow Keys

Question

I\'m attempting to capture arrow key presses in jQuery, but no events are being triggered.

$(function(){
    $(\'html\').keypress(function(e){
        consol         


        

Answer 1

left = 37,up = 38, right = 39,down = 40

$(document).keydown(function(e) {
switch(e.which) {
    case 37:
    $( "#prev" ).click();
    break;

    case 38:
    $( "#prev" ).click();
    break;

    case 39:
    $( "#next" ).click();
    break;

    case 40:
    $( "#next" ).click();
    break;

    default: return;
}
e.preventDefault();

});
