Which keycode for escape key with jQuery

Question

I have two functions. When enter is pressed the functions runs correctly but when escape is pressed it doesn't. What's the correct number for the escape key?

$(document).keypress(function(e) { 
    if (e.which == 13) $('.save').click();   // enter (works as expected)
    if (e.which == 27) $('.cancel').click(); // esc   (does not work)
});

Answer 1

27 is the code for the escape key. :) $(document). keypress(function(e) { y=e.
