Javascript onkeydown/up

Question

I would like to know how can I use onkeydown and onkeyup events in javascript correctly with an event listener.

Answer 1

You can do something like this:

$(document).ready(function() {

    document.onkeydown = function(event) {

    if(event.keyCode=="38")

    console.log("Up key pressed");

    else if(event.keyCode=="40")

        console.log("Down key pressed");

   };

});
