I am using
$(document).keydown(function (event) {
  alert(event.keyCode);
});
This function works great when the page is loaded..Now when i click on any part of the page and then when i press any key this event is not firing and alert does not come..
 
Why?

In what browser? I've just tried your code in FireFox and it works
