I have a button that has the onclick event. How can I trigger it with a particular keypress? I'm stumped. ~:(
in the html
<button id="upButt" onclick='library.cmd()'>Up Direction</button>
in the jQuery
$(function() {
var e = $.Event('keypress');
e.which = 68; //UP key
$('#pre').trigger(e);
});
I have created JSfiddle link for the same:-
Code:-
$(function() {
$(document).keydown(function(e) {
switch (e.which) {
case 38: // up key
alert("up key event called")
$("#upButt").trigger("click")
break;
}
});
});
here is the solution for enter keypress: http://jsfiddle.net/qmruwn0a/
<input type="text">
<button id="btn">Click</button>
$('input').keypress(function(e) {
if(e.which == 13) { //for key up use 38
$('#btn').trigger('click');
}
});
$('#btn').on('click', function() {
alert("click");
});
change the e.which value to any key code you like.
If you want it to work with any key add this to the button
onkeypress="this.onclick()"
