Hi there,

I'm trying to add a class (.active) to a text field once the user starts typing. I got it to work somewhat with the following code, but for some reason the .active class is not applied immediately when the user starts typing, it's only applied after a second letter has been typed. Any ideas?

$(document).ready(function() {

    loginField = $('.field');

    loginField.live('keydown', function(){
        if ($(this).val()){
            $(this).addClass('active');     
        }
    });
});
