Navegador: Google Chrome V19.0.1084.52

Eu tenho uma caixa de texto que precisa ser um número menor ou igual a 255, no keydown eu quero verificar se este valor é superior ou igual a 255 mais impedir o evento.

No console quando eu console.log oevento vai mostrarevent.srcElement.value como o valor aparecerá, por exemplo, de 12 => 123, quando eu console.log apenasevent.srcElement.value mostrará como a entrada foi, não será.

Console.log está acontecendo um após o outro, nada no meio, sem pausas.

Como posso encontrar o que o novo valor de uma caixa de texto estará no keydown e por que o console.log está retornando resultados diferentes?

obrigado

Aqui está meu código:

function inputNumeric(event,max) {

    console.log (event);
    console.log ('event.originalEvent.srcElement.value: '+event.originalEvent.srcElement.value);
    console.log ('event.srcElement.value: '+event.srcElement.value);

}

$("#rs485addr").keydown(function(event) {
    inputNumeric(event);
});

Console.log:

event.originalEvent.srcElement.value: 12
event.srcElement.value: 12

event.srcElement:
