Question

I need some help for a little jquery selector…

I need to call a function on keypress action, but I need to call this function only when the user isn’t in a <form>.

I try with $('body').not('form').keypress(getKey) but it doesn’t work

I tried with some combinaison of .not() selector but I didn’t do nothing well…

So if someone had an idea how I can do it…

Thanks you

$(document).on('keypress', function (e) {
    if (!$(e.target).closest('form').length) {
       //not in a form
    }
});
