I have the following code:

$(document).on('keyup', 'p[contenteditable=true]', function(e) {

    if(e.which == 13) {

        e.preventDefault();

        $(this).after('<p contenteditable = true></p>');

        $(this).next('p').focus();

    } else if((e.which == 8 || e.which == 46) && $(this).text() == ) {

        e.preventDefault();

        alert(Should remove element.);

        $(this).remove();

        $(this).previous('p').focus();

    };

});

I would like to prevent the default action when a key is pressed. preventDefault works for keypress but not keyup. Is there a way to prevent the defualt for $(document).on('keyup')?
