Hi,

I have a jQuery event

$('#msg-text').keyup(function() {			
      $('#msg-chr-remaining').html('Remaining characters: '+(255-$('#msg-text').length));
});

The problem is it fires only once - the first time. Anyone knows why?

Thanks

$('#msg-text').length

This refers to the length of the array that is returned from the jQuery object.

$('#msg-text').val().length

This refers to the length of the text from the textbox.
