JQuery keypress CTRL + S event not working in Chrome?

Question

Why keypressdoesn't the event below work in Chrome and Safari? It works great in Firefox!

Did I miss something for Chrome and Safari?

$(window).keypress(function(event) {                                       

    if ((event.which == 115 && event.ctrlKey) || (event.which == 19)) {

        // Trigger click.
        $("form input[type=submit][name=update]",object_popup).click();
            alert("Keys down are Ctrl + s + Return");

    } else if ((event.which == 120 && event.ctrlKey) || (event.which == 19)){

        // Trigger click.
        $(".ps-button-close",object_popup).click();
        alert("Keys down are Ctrl + x + Return");

    } else {
        return true;
    }

    event.preventDefault();
    return false;
});

Chrome / Safari will revert to default and save the webpage instead when I use ctl + s and the warning sound when I use ctl + x.

You should slightly change your code to:

$(document).keydown(function(event) {

  var currKey=0,e=e||event; 
  currKey=e.keyCode||e.which||e.charCode;

    if (!( String.fromCharCode(event.which).toLowerCase() == 's' && event.ctrlKey) && !(event.which == 19))  {
       return true; 
    }    

    event.preventDefault();       
    alert("Keys down are Ctrl + s + Return");     
    return false;

});
