firefox os keypress with jQuery

Question

I'm doing some test webapps with firefox os(1.2) simulator and having trouble with keypress firing with the return key, works in firefox on mac as expected.

$(".null").keypress(function(e) {
    var inputText = $(this).val().trim();
    if(e.which == 13 && inputText) {
      var chunks = inputText.match(/.{1,1024}/g)
        , len = chunks.length;
      for(var i = 0; i<len; i++) {
        socket.emit('null', {
          msg: chunks[i]
        });
      }
      $(this).val('');
      return false;
    }
  });

I checked the docs and 13 is still the correct key so nothing odd or funny about it.. I also looked in something ffos webapps code on github to find other people using keypress but had no luck.

This should work shouldn't it?

Answer 1

I tried a simple event in 1.2 simulator and on the keon and it worked with the following code:

    window.onkeypress = keypress;

    function keypress(e) {
        console.log("keypress event detected!");
        if(e.which === 13 ){ 
            console.log("return presses");
        }
    }
