Question

i need a simple bind on a keypress (right arrow) but i just cant make it work
i dont know on what should i chain the .keypress() method and the variable just wont take the key code in. it reacts on key press (it logs it on the console) but just not what i want. i am not alowed to use any plugins or jquery UI.

    $("*").keypress(function(e){
        console.log(e); //this returns [object object]
        if (e.which == 39 || e.keyCode == 39 || window.event.keyCode == 39){
            $('.someDiv').click();
        };
    });

any ideas?

You can use the document object, also note that jQuery normalizes the which property and it is cross-browser:

$(document).on('keyup', function(event){
    if (event.which == 39){
        $('.someDiv').click();
    };
});
