Uncaught ReferenceError: keyup is not defined

What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

$textarea.live("keyup", function () {
    update();
});

Answer 2

Good syntax of .live is .live( eventType, handler ) At least, write it like this : $textarea.live('keyup', update); if you use a real handler or $textarea.live('keyup', function(){update();}); if you only use a function once.

Answer 3

try

$textarea.live('keyup',update);
