IF press OR

Question

There is a way in jQuery to have something like:

if (button.click() || (keydown == 39)) {
   //stuff
}

Answer 1

function stuff(e) { alert('Something happened'); }

$('input[type=button]').click(function(e) { 
    stuff(e);
});

$(document).keydown(function(e) { 
    if (e.keyCode == 39) { stuff(e); }
});​​​

You can bind () for several events:

$(button).bind("click keydown", function (evt) {
    if (evt.type == "keydown" && evt.which == 39)
        alert("Key 39 pressed");
    else if (evt.type == "click")
        alert("Clicked!");
});

Note that the space and enter keys can also trigger a click event on a button.

  if (event.type == 'mouseclick') {
      // Do something
  } else if (event.type == 'keydown' {
      if (event.keyCode == '39')
      {
          // Do something
      }   
  }
