HTML onkeypress Event Attribute

The onkeypress event attribute triggers when the user presses a key on the keyboard.

Note: In practice, browsers do not fire keypress event for certain keys (ALT, CTRL, SHIFT, ESC, etc.).

Warning: The onkeypress event is deprecated and is no longer recommended, use the onkeydown event instead.

Example
