将keypress和focusout事件附加到contenteditable div中的元素

Question

I want to attach keypress and focusout event handlers to a paragraph inside contenteditable div .

The following code doesn't seem to work:

<div contenteditable="true">
    <p id="p1">Test</p>
    <p id="p2">Test</p>
    <p id="p3">Test</p>
</div>

$('#p1').bind('keypress', function(e) {
    alert('keypress');
});

$('#p1').focusout(function(e) {
    alert('focusout');
});

JSFiddle

Basically the contenteditable is the one that will respond to events dispatched from the inner Nodes. If we get the caret position and than target it's range's parentNode - than we can retrieve the desired ID

 $('[contenteditable]').on('keypress focusout', function(ev) { var node = window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0).commonAncestorContainer; var nodeParent = node.parentNode; // Do something if parent node ID is "p1" if( nodeParent.id === "p1") { console.log( nodeParent.id +' '+ ev.type ); // or whatever you need to do here } }); 

 <div contenteditable="true"> <p id="p1">TestP1 do someting on keypress</p> <p id="p2">TestP2 is Not Interesting</p> </div> <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.js"></script>

There's an answer over here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18772205/2100255

Basically, you need to wrap your inner contenteditables with non-contenteditables. The event fires off the node which declares contenteditable=true.

I have altered the solution, Refer the latest fiddle

$(document).on('keypress', '#p1[contenteditable="true"]', function(e) {
   alert("test");
});

You can do it as below Instead of click event you can change it to event on which you want to track the change.I am using click for example

 $("div").click(function(e){ console.log($("#"+$(e.target)[0].id).text()); });
