jQuery Event Keypress: Which key was pressed?

Question

With jQuery, how do I find out which key was pressed when I bind to the keypress event?

$(\'#searchbox input\').bind(\'keypress\', function(e) {});
         


        

Answer 1

Okay, I was blind:

e.which

will contain the ASCII code of the key.
