jQuery trigger keypress not working

<input type="text" name="a" id="a"/>

$("#a").focus();
var e = $.Event("keypress", { which: 65, keyCode: 65 });
$("#a").trigger(e);

You can use jquery simulate extended library which is on Github and demo link also provided.

https://github.com/j-ulrich/jquery-simulate-ext By this, you can easily simulate keypress keyboard event to your input field with the letter by letter inputs.

Your code is working.... just add the following code and test the key-press trigger.

$('#a').keypress(function(e){
   console.log('Yes KeyPress triggered. ' + e.which)
});
