👋 Hello! I'm Alphonsio the robot. Ask me a question, I'll try to answer.
With jQuery, how to trigger event on tabulation key?
In jQuery, you can trigger an event when the tabulation key is pressed with the following code :
// Trigger event when a key is pressed
$('#myID').on('keydown', function(event)
{
// Get key code
var code = event.keyCode || event.which;
// If the tabulation key is pressed, code = 9
if (code === 9) {
event.preventDefault();
// Do something, the tabulation key is down
}
})
The call of event.preventDefault();
prevents the default behavior of the browser on tabulation key (set focus to next element), it is optional.
