Answer 1

What Chad says, except its better to use .keyup in this case because with .keydown and .keypress the value of the input is still the older value i.e. the newest key pressed would not be reflected if .val() is called.

This should probably be a comment on Chad's answer but I dont have privileges to comment yet.
