jQuery Code Challenge - Text Event Inputs - Help Needed, please.

Hello,

I'm stuck on the 2nd part of the challenge. My code seems to invalidate my correct code from the first challenge and I'm not clear on what I'm doing wrong:

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

Any explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Jonathan

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

You needed to select the input elements, and add a closing bracket of the keydown function.

Hope this helps

Mike,

Thanks you so much for your response.

The code makes sense to me. I had tried numerous versions, including your suggestion - all without the closing bracket for the keydown function.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it.

Jonathan
