    *None* of your other five questions received an acceptable answer? None? Mind you, if they all have this level of detail, people may not have tried very hard. The more effort you put into your questions, the better both the quality and quantity of the answers you'll receive. – T.J. Crowder Sep 14 '10 at 11:46

Use the keypress event as described here; there's an example on that page showing how to get the key code:

$('#target').keypress(function(event) {
  if (event.keyCode == '13') {
     event.preventDefault();
   }
   xTriggered++;
   var msg = 'Handler for .keypress() called ' + xTriggered + ' time(s).';
  $.print(msg, 'html');
  $.print(event);
});

You want the event.keyCode part.

This page may also be useful, it describes some "gotchas" around cross-browser keypress handling. jQuery may smooth some of those out for you, but good to be aware of them.

$('#textbox').keypress(function(e) {
    var code = e.keyCode || e.which;
});
