How to bind an event to appended element in jQuery?

Is there a way to get delete to register as a keypress event in JQuery?

• Right now when I bind a keypress event to a input text field it only registers when I add new characters, deletes do not set off the keypress event.

• Answer:

  Many browsers don't fire the keypress event for the delete key, but they will fire it on a keydown or keyup event. $('#your_input').bind('keydown',function(e){     if(e.keyCode == 46) //do something })
