jQuery issue with anchor tag using jqTransform
- by James Helms
I'm using jqtransform on my site. When the user is on a for them to be able to use hot keys to move through the selections. I added this function:
$wrapper.find('a').keydown(function (e) {
var Esc = 27;
var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
if(code== Esc || (code>=65 &&code<=90)){
var letter = String.fromCharCode(code);
if (code==Esc)
keyCodes = "";
else{
if (keyCodes=='')
keyCodes += letter;
else
keyCodes += letter.toLowerCase();
var item = $wrapper.find('a[text^=\'' + keyCodes + '\']:first');
item.click();
}
}
});
inside of $.fn.jqTransSelect.
This code works fine in all browsers but IE. the only thing i can find is that IE doesn't like the click event. Can anyone please help me with this?
If i debug into the code I can see that item is a select not an anchor like i would expect it to be, and that confuses me even more.
