jQuery Fundamental - II : Exercise-89

Check whether the META key was pressed when the event fired.

Sample solution :

HTML Code :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js"></script>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<title>Check whether the META key was pressed when the event fired.</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>On Macintosh keyboards, the META key maps to the Command key (⌘).</p>
<p>On Windows keyboards, the META key maps to the Windows key.</p>
<button value="Test" name="Test" id="checkMetaKey">Click me!</button>
<div id="display"></div>
</body>
</html>

CSS Code :

body {
background-color: #CCDD96;
}
div {
padding: 20px;
}

JavaScript Code :

$( "#checkMetaKey" ).click(function( event ) {
$( "#display" ).text( event.metaKey );
});
