I know you have accepted an answer but you could test the button pressed using the following:
$('#detect').on('focus', function(e){
$(window).keyup(function (e) {
var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
if (code == 9) {
alert('I was tabbed!');
}
});
});

Edit: change the listener around:
$(window).keyup(function (e) {
var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
if (code == 9 && $('#detect:focus').length) {
alert('I was tabbed!');
}
});
