$(document).on("keypress" - Not triggered in Firefox

Question

Code:

$(document).on("keypress", ".className", function (e) {
     debugger;
     if (e.which == 13) {
     debugger;
           ....
           ...
    }
}

Above code triggers in IE, CHROME but not works in FIREFOX

Note: I had already refer the following SO links related to this, but nothing makes firefox to trigger..

onKeyPress event not working in Firefox

Key press event is not working in Mozilla Firefox

keypress is not working in Mozila Firefox

Assuming the missing `)` at the end of your code is a typo, it works fine: http://jsfiddle.net/zq2tefa6/ - just tested in FF39 — Rory McCrossan, Nov 30 '15 at 10:09
clearly some code you aren't showing is the problem, works here for firefox 42 and 44 — Jaromanda X, Nov 30 '15 at 10:15
I too get `ReferenceError: event is not defined` only in firefox: http://jsfiddle.net/6knunwLp/ — online Thomas, Nov 30 '15 at 10:16

You should use e.charCode in Firefox.

$(document).on("keypress", ".className", function (e) {
     var code = e.charCode || e.keyCode;
     if (code == 13) {
     debugger;
           ....
           ...
    }
});

any issue with `e.which`. – Jai Nov 30 '15 at 10:11
First `debugger` line of code in the question itself is not triggered. – Earth Nov 30 '15 at 10:12
Can you create a fiddle for this? – void Nov 30 '15 at 10:14
this function is present below the `document.ready...` function. Works fine in `IE / Chrome` – Earth Nov 30 '15 at 10:16
