onkeypress event not firing in ie

$(".tbSearchBox").keyup(function (event) {
    if (event.keyCode == 13) {
        alert("ye");
        searchSet = $(this).val();
        $(".btnSerachButton").click();
    }
});

Im using the above code to detect whether the user has typed something in a search box then hit enter instead of pressing the search button. this works for all browsers apart from IE. IE can read the on keyup event but bypasses the if statement used. Any idea why?

There some incompatibility in ie regarding event and keycode so to make it browser compatible try this

$(".tbSearchBox").keypress(function (event) {
    var ev = event || window.event;
    var key = ev.keyCode || ev.which || ev.charCode;
    if (key == 13) {
        ev.preventDefault();
        alert("ye");
        searchSet = $(this).val();
        $(".btnSerachButton").click();
    }
});

var code = (event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which);

or maybe even

var code = event.keyCode || event.which;

You should use event.which here to normalise event.keyCode and event.charCode:

if (event.which == 13) ...
