keypress event not working in IE and Chrome but working in FF

Question

Any idea why this might happen? I would usually think that Chrome would be more forgiving with the codes?

$(document).keypress(function(e) {
    if(e.keyCode         


        

Answer 1

yes this can be achieved by changing onkeypress event to onkeydown. Moreover this issue exists just in case of Internet Explorer when you want to trigger an event on space click.
