The onkeypress property sets and returns the onKeyPress event handler code for the current element.

Syntax

element.onkeypress = event handling code

Notes

The keypress event should be raised when the user presses a key on the keyboard. However, not all browsers fire keypress events for certain keys.

Browser Incompatibilities

Webkit-based browsers (Google Chrome and Safari, for example) do not fire keypress events on the arrow keys

Firefox does not fire keypress events on modifier keys like SHIFT

Examples

Example 1: Filter the digitation in a form field through a regular expression

The following example shows the use of the onkeypress event during a digitation into a form field in order to filter the typed characters:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Example</title>
<script>
  function numbersOnly(oToCheckField, oKeyEvent) {
    return oKeyEvent.charCode === 0 || /\d/.test(String.fromCharCode(oKeyEvent.charCode));
  }
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="myForm">
<p>Enter numbers only: <input type="text" name="myInput" onkeypress="return numbersOnly(this, event);" onpaste="return false;" /></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Example 2: Capture the digitation of a hidden word

The following example will do something after the user digits the word "exit" in any point of a page.

/* Type the word "exit" in any point of your page... */

(function () {

  var sSecret = /* chose your hidden word...: */ "exit", nOffset = 0;

  document.onkeypress = function (oPEvt) {
    var oEvent = oPEvt || window.event, nChr = oEvent.charCode, sNodeType = oEvent.target.nodeName.toUpperCase();
    if (nChr === 0 || oEvent.target.contentEditable.toUpperCase() === "TRUE" || sNodeType === "TEXTAREA" || sNodeType === "INPUT" && oEvent.target.type.toUpperCase() === "TEXT") { return true; }
    if (nChr !== sSecret.charCodeAt(nOffset)) {
      nOffset = nChr === sSecret.charCodeAt(0) ? 1 : 0;
    } else if (nOffset < sSecret.length - 1) {
      nOffset++;
    } else {
      nOffset = 0;
      /* do something here... */
      alert("Yesss!!!");
      location.assign("https://developer.mozilla.org/");
    }
    return true;
  };
})();
