Quicktip: Internet explorer does not trigger key events on the window object

In one of my latest projects I had to use jquery keypress events for next and previous navigation. I develop on safari and do the cross browsertesting afterwards, and it didn’t work in Internet Explorer…

so instead of listening to the window for keypress events:

$(window).keypress(function(){...});

I had to do this:

$(document).keypress(function(){...});
