For the purposes of this test I have some basic html:
<a href="https://www.google.co.uk" class="prev">Previous</a>
<a href="https://jsfiddle.net" class="next">Next</a>
I have a fairly straightforward jquery function:
var prev = $('.prev');
var next = $('.next');
$('body').on('keydown',function(e){
if(e.which == 37){
prev.trigger('click');
}else if(e.which == 39){
next.trigger('click');
}
console.log(e.which);
e.preventDefault();
});
The console is logging each key pressed, however this is not binding the click event to each of the href's and I am not sure why.
In addition I think using e.preventDefault();
is stopping other key actions on the page. In the other keyCode functions in my app I am not using return false
or preventDefault();
Is it possible to wrap the anchors in a div and bind the keydown only to that container for example:
<div class="nav">
<a href="https://www.google.co.uk" class="prev">Previous</a>
<a href="https://jsfiddle.net" class="next">Next</a>
</div>
$('.nav').on('keydown', function(){} // etc
I have a jsfiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/lharby/sva0a4d1/
You can try this:
$('body').on('keydown',function(e){
if(e.which == 37){
$('a.prev')[0].click()
}else if(e.which == 39){
$('a.next')[0].click()
}
});
