jQuery: How to capture the TAB keypress within a Textbox

Edit: Since your element is dynamically inserted, you have to use delegated on() as in your example, but you should bind it to the keydown event, because as @Marc comments, in IE the keypress event doesn’t capture non-character keys:

$("#parentOfTextbox").on('keydown', '#textbox', function(e) { 
  var keyCode = e.keyCode || e.which; 

  if (keyCode == 9) { 
    e.preventDefault(); 
    // call custom function here
  } 
});
