JQuery Form Validation

FROM: Build an Interactive Website > Form Validation and Manipulation > Text Input Events

QUESTION:

Select all inputs and on the 'keydown' event select 'this' and then show the next element.

I got the first one right... But, what about the second?

$("input,textarea").focus(function(){$(this).next()});

You only need to select <input> elements:

$('input')

Use the '.keydown' event rather than '.focus' and then show the next element using the .show() function. Put all of that together and you have your answer!
