Hi,

I need to capture the delete key event onclick on DIV. I wrote the below code using jQuery.

$("#DIVID").keydown(function(event){ // delete key works with IE
			  if(event.keyCode == 46)
			  {
				 // delete code goes here
			  }

This is working fine in IE but not on Mozilla, Safari.
Please do the needful.

Try this trick :
