Question

For eg..onmousedown is the attribute name for the script to be run when mouse button is pressed inside TextArea. Similarly, I want to know the attribute name in Text Area for clicking on TextArea’s up and down arrow buttons

I want to write a js function when the arrow(up or down buttons) is clicked. So i need attribute name. Thanks.

I meant to (Text Area’s Up and Down Arrows) and not key board up and down arrows. Thanks

For eg. We are typing comment here(TextArea) in StackOverflow. Here we able to see the up and down buttons. When we click this, some action to be performed. Text Area here is similar to I am having.Thanks

Is there any specific function for scrolling up and scrolling down. “onscroll” triggers when scrolling up/down happens. Thanks

Answer 1

$(document).keydown(function(e){
    if (e.keyCode == CharCodeOfWantedKey){
//do stuff;
}
}); 

Char code of up arrow is 38, for down arrow 40.
