Keypress event to web page not working from iframe

I created a web page using html and javascript. Used iframe inside the page and assigned keypress event to the window like,

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Keypress Event test</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      function onKeyPress(e){alert(e.keyCode);}
      window.addEventListener("keypress", onKeyPress);
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Helow! Welcome!</h1>
    <iframe src="..." />
  </body>
</html>

On key press the alert is working fine. after click iframe and press key the function is not working. How can bring keypress event from iframe?

If you place an iFrames on a page, then the browser will create a window object for the page, and one for each iFrame.

I suspect this is the cause of this problem, since your code does not explicitly say which window object to attach the keypress event to.
