I am on task 2 of 2 and am being asked to "select all inputs and on the 'keydown' event select 'this' and then show the next element." When I add the code I think is correct, it makes Task 1 no longer passing for some reason and I can't figure out why. My code is:
$(".hint").hide();
$("input").keydown(function(){
$(this).next().show();
}
Thanks!

$(".hint").hide();
$("input").keydown(function(){
$(this).next().show();
});

On this task as others it states add the code to the previous task when in actual fact it needs removing it is confusing to newbies like myself who are tackling this for the first time.
finally cracked it through forum posts

$('input').keydown(function () { $(this).next().show('.hint'); }):
