I would like to realize a keypress event for typing a string into an input elements by Jquery, I know Jquery can listen the event of keypress, keydown and keyup. But, what I want to do is using the Jquery to realize the action of keypress and put the value of which key I pressed into the input elements. Is that possible by jQuery to realize this task?

Do you want that jQuery fills in a textbox not actually with the pressed value key but with its keycode? – Eduardo Escobar Dec 31 '15 at 00:55

Is this what you want?
$('.input').on('keypress', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$(this).val(event.keyCode);
});
$( ".input" ).trigger( "keypress" );

// Target input element and bind to the "keyPress" event.
$('.input').on('keypress', function(event) {
// Prevent the default action to stop the key character being entered into the field
event.preventDefault();
// Add the event's keyCode into the field
$(this).val(event.keyCode);
})

Why the input element still empty as I have tested your code up there, I was thinking, the way we put a value into the input element is: $('#input').val(); But, from your code, I did not find this code, can you help me to modify it? – Calvin Dec 31 '15 at 01:22

I've updated the code above now you've clarified the requirements in the question comments. – mark_c Dec 31 '15 at 02:00

Thx, but I think you misunderstood my point. I would like to use Jquery to trigger a keypress event, but pressing any keyboard. Meanwhile, also input values into input element. Is that possible to realize? – Calvin Dec 31 '15 at 02:48
