Which event should be used for key press handling key-down/key-up? It is sure that in both case the program will run successfully. But which one will be more user-friendly?
784
The keydown and keyup events provide a code indicating which key is pressed, while keypress indicates which character was entered. For example, a lowercase "a" will be reported as 65 by keydown and keyup , but as 97 by keypress .
The keyup() is an inbuilt method in jQuery which is used to trigger the keyup event whenever User releases a key from the keyboard. So, Using keyup() method we can detect if any key is released from the keyboard.
jQuery keyup() Methodkeydown - The key is on its way down. keypress - The key is pressed down. keyup - The key is released.
The onkeydown attribute fires when the user is pressing a key (on the keyboard).
It depends on you. There is no such best practice. Both are used as per the need of your program and as per the convenience of the user.
keyup Fires when the user releases a key, after the default action of that key has been performed.
keydown Fires when the user depresses a key. It repeats while the user keeps the key depressed.
