On the Definitive Trigger Keypress jQuery thread there is no working JSFiddle for the answer, and the code that is there doesn't work for me.
$("button").click(function () {
$("input").focus();
var e = jQuery.Event("keydown");
e.which = 77; // # Some key code value
$("input").trigger(e);
})
There's my code and here's my fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/Z8adb/
On click, an M should appear in the input, as the input is given focus and having a keydown with the keyCode of 77 ("m") triggered on it.
Any ideas?
EDIT: My true purpose for this is to trigger an "m" hotkey on a Sublime Video in order to mute the video programmatically. This was my first step to ensure I was firing the "m" key properly, which I am with the help of Stack Overflow. However, I'm still not able to get an event to fire programmatically on the video. I think this is just a problem with Sublime Video, but I'm not sure, and anyone's views on forcing keypresses and clicks would be awesome to hear.
