Javascript Spacebar Event Handler - only works in Firefox

Question

<script>

$(function(){

    $("#button-start").click(game.start);

    $(window).keypress(function(e) 
    {
        if (e.keyCode == 0) 
        {
            game.check(true);
        }
    });
});

</script>

This only captures the spacebar keypress event in Firefox. Does not work in IE or Chrome.

How do I modify this to make it work for all browsers?

Answer 1

jQuery normilised the key codes under which event property. Spacebar has code 32:

$(window).keypress(function(e) {
    if (e.which === 32) {
        game.check(true);
    }
});

You can use $(document) instead to be more browser compatible.
