BlogjQuery Plugin: Keycode jQuery Plugin
Sick of looking up what the charcode for escape is so that you can close your dialog box with escape. Well I have the perfect medicine, a new plugin called Keycodes.
Functions Added
$.charcode
$.charcode(input, returnInt = false)
Returns: mixed, if returnInt is false, this returns a string containing the English version of the keycode (‘alt’ instead of 18)
input mixed
This can be an integer containing a keycode, a string containing a keycode or an event object.
returnInt boolean
$.isKey
$.isKey(e, input)
Returns: boolean, if e is one of the keys listed in input then it returns true. Otherwise it returns false.
e mixed
This is either a keycode, or an event object.
input mixed
This should be a comma seperated list of keys (ex: alt,tab,escape) or a Javascript object containing the keys (ex: {‘alt’,'tab’,'escape’})
Examples
$('#exampleSearch').keyup(function (e) {
$('#oupt').html('');
$('#oupt').append('You pressed: '+$.charcode(e)+', which is keycode: '+(e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which));
$('#oupt').append("\nThe key alt is keyCode: "+$.charcode('alt', true));
if($.isKey(e,'a,b,c,d'))
$('#oupt').append("\nYou pressed A, B, C or D");
});
Hi, the German Umlaute like ä ö ü do not work in Firefox 3.5.5 on Mac OS X 10.6. KeyCode is undefined/0. This seems to be a common problem. Any idea how to fix this?
Sorry for my delay, Wordpress wasn’t emailing me with comments.
As, an English speaker, I didn’t even think of this.
How do you input an umlauted u, a or o? If it requires more than one keystroke, the way plugin picks up the characters won’t work here.
Can you give me the steps to reproduce?
I have also emailed you to make sure you are notified of this.
