Text Input Events - Code Challenge

Hey Treehouse, for this quiz you guys ask us to use the .keydown() and .show() methods when it wasn't even covered in any of the previous videos. In the last video, the instructor was about to use the .keyup() event handler but interrupted himself to give us a quiz. As someone who is new to JS and is learning through these videos, I got frustrated at this quiz because I thought I had missed this info somewhere in the lessons so I rewatched them a few times until I finally googled it to learn about .keydown() and .show() methods on the jquery website.

Please change the quiz to make use of the .keyup() and the fadeIn() methods, which were covered in the previous video.

Here's the answer for anyone who got stuck:

Cliff Garibay I removed the code that you posted because the point of the forum is not to simply give students the answer but to help them but to help them work through their problems so they correctly understand it.

I appreciate that you are trying to help other students because it is confusing but like I said we should try to help them through their problems not just get them pass a code challenge.

I will check for this problem because I don't remember having any difficulties with it, (and yes that Treehosue is my first experience for even programing itself).

The Javascript Foundations course might help you if you haven't already checked it out.

Happy coding.

Hi Chase.

I didn't mean to break any forum rules or anything like that when I posted the answer to the code challenge, I did so because this particular code challenge frustrated me for asking me do things that weren't even covered in any of previous lessons, by providing the answer on the forum so others wouldn't have stay stuck on this challenge.

As a side note, I'm doing the "Become a Web Designer" learning adventure and have already completed the JS Foundations course that you've mentioned.

Hope this all get's worked out.

Don't worry there aren't any rules. It's just that we want to help other students understand the topic and not just get them get past a certain code challenge.
