Chrome not allowing tab prevendefault

Question

I have a form on which user can tab and jump to different elements. i was to stop the tab when it reaches a special anchor tag.

this is the code which work in firefox

    $('.next-tab').keypress(function(e){
        var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
        console.log(code);
        if (code == 0 || code == 9){
            console.log("keypress")
            e.preventDefault();
            e.stopPropagation();
        }
    });

but this code does not work in chrome, i dont know why, it does not even enter the keypress method. so i used this code for chrome

$('.next-tab').blur(function(e) {
            var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
            console.log(code);
            if (code == 0 || code == 9){
                console.log("blur")
                e.preventDefault();
                e.stopPropagation();
            }
        });

it enters the blur method pass the condition but dont do any thing, and user can easily move to the next element.

For chrome support, looks like you need to use keydown event:

$('.next-tab').keydown(function (e) {
    var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
    console.log(code);
    if (code == 0 || code == 9) {
        console.log("keydown")
        e.preventDefault();
        e.stopPropagation();
    }
});
