My question is regarding the following line of code:
$("#password").focus(passwordEvent).keyup(passwordEvent);
Im confused as to why the .keyup can be attached to the focus method and doesn't need to be included on the next line. Wouldn't this line of code only run the .keyup method on the results returned by the .focus method since it is attached to it? But it seems to run the 2 methods independent of each other.

Treehouse TeacherIt's something we call "method chaining". Here's some documentation on the .end() function in jQuery, but it also contains general examples of how method chaining is used. Hope this might help!
