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

Please refer the link from JQuery

http://api.jquery.com/keypress/

It says

The keypress event is sent to an element when the browser registers keyboard input. This is similar to the keydown event, except that modifier and non-printing keys such as Shift, Esc, and delete trigger keydown events but not keypress events. Other differences between the two events may arise depending on platform and browser.

That means you can not use keypress in case of arrows.
