Triggering keyup event on input field in Internet

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• onKeyUp not firing for ESC in IE 5 answers

Basically I have a problem with triggering keyup event on input element in. In Firefox it works but in IE7 (or IE 8 in IE 7 mode) it doesn't. Is there a way to make this work (preferably in jQuery)?

I want console to print test each type I type a letter.

EDIT: In hurry I forgot the obligatory jsFiddle link - http://jsfiddle.net/sWfNw/3/

Ok, here is alert which should work in IE regardless of version if I recall correctly.

Answer 1

Hi guys thanks for the help, but Michael Swan got it right, IE7 doesn't support console and that was the bug.

Answer 2

Basically

jQuery('#inputfield').keyup(function(){ console.log('test'); })

should work even in IE7 - On the other hand it wouldn't be the first bug, you might want to try this:

jQuery('#inputfield').change(function(){ console.log('test'); })
