I've got a question regarding jQuery keypress events. I've got the following (working) code:
$(document).bind('keypress', function(event) {
if ($('#myDiv').is(':visible')) {
if (event.which == 102) {
// ...do something...
}
}
else {
if (event.which == 102) {
return;
}
}
});
I always "unbind" the event with binding another "over" it. I know that I can unbind it with .unbind('keypress')
but I got more keypress events and when i unbind this with $(document).unbind('keypress')
all my events get lost.
Can I do something like "keypress.102" to only unbind this particular "key" or how can this be done?!
You were on the right track. That's called namespaced events, i.e. labelling specific bindings using <event_name>.<namespace>
(in your case, "keypress.102").
For example:
$(document).bind("keypress.key102", function(event) {
if ($('#myDiv').is(':visible')) {
if (event.which == 102) {
// ...do something...
}
}
else {
if (event.which == 102) {
return;
}
}
});
you can later unbind that without affecting other bound keypress events:
$(document).unbind("keypress.key102");
