`keyup` function not triggering with `iframe` element

Question

I am getting an iframe, in which I am finding an element. I tried to add a keyup event with editable div, but it's not working...

Here is the code:

var iframebody = $(editorid).siblings().find('iframe').contents().find('body');

    var div = $('<div />', 
              {text:textstring, 
                class:'txtMsg mceNonEditable',
                "data-mce-contenteditable":"false",
                css:{'background':'#f2f2f2','margin-bottom':'5px'}});


    var msgDiv = $('<div />', 
                {html:msgText,class:'msgText mceEditable', 
                "data-mce-contenteditable":"true", 
                css:{'margin-bottom':'5px','outline':'0'}})
                .keyup(function(){
                    console.log('keyup'); //not working
                });


    var appender = iframebody.append(div).append(msgDiv);

    console.log(iframebody.find('.mceNonEditable').get(0)); //i am getting the object.

    iframebody.find('.mceNonEditable').on('keyup', function () {
        console.log('hi'); //not working!
    });

Can anyone explain why this approach isn't working?

As per Jquery official site find description is

Get the descendants of each element in the current set of matched elements, filtered by a selector, jQuery object, or element.

and on methods description is

Attach an event handler function for one or more events to the selected elements.

As on is a event like pressing or releasing etc but find is not an event so

console.log('hi');

is working

I think if you try something like this

 iframebody.find('.mceNonEditable').trigger('keyup',function () {
        console.log('hi'); //not working!
    });

then you may get your desired result
