Detailed explanation of the difference between js onkeypress and onkeydown events_Basic knowledge

There is a difference between onkeypress and onkeydown. The difference between onkeypress and onkeydown events will be explained below.
The onkeypress event occurs when the user presses and releases any alphanumeric key. But system buttons (e.g. arrow keys, function keys) are not recognized.
The onkeydown event occurs when the user presses any keyboard key, including system buttons.
Specific differences:
1. One is released and the other is not released, onkeydown occurs before onkeypress.
2.onkeypress cannot system button.
2. The keyCode captured by onkeydown does not distinguish between letter sizes, but onkeypress does.

onkeypress occurs when the user presses and releases any alphanumeric key. System buttons (for example, arrow keys and function keys) are not recognized.
onkeyup occurs when the user releases any previously pressed keyboard key.
onkeydown occurs when the user presses any keyboard key (including system buttons such as arrow keys and function keys).
