JavaScript keypress in Windows Phone

Question

I'm trying to handle keypress event in Windows Phone's browser via JavaScript. Here is working example: http://jsfiddle.net/alex_myronov/c5n4C/2/ . But as I change input value the handler is not triggered. It triggered only in case inpu t lost focus. Does someone know how to deal with it?

Answer 1

Try the keydown event as opposed to keypress, I believe keypress isn't consistently implemented.

<input data-bind="event: {keydown: changeStatus}, valueUpdate: 'afterkeydown'"></input>
