Textbox bind keydown event failure

[wymak]

I write a short code to display the number of character user input into the textbox, on each textbox.keydown event.
However, the code did not work for user input greater than 1 character. It work again if I put an 'alert()' function inside, as shown, please enlighten me.....

   <input  id='title'  class='easyui-textbox'> </div>
   <div id='count'></div>   

    <script type="text/javascript"> 

       $(function(){ 
      
            $('#title').textbox('textbox').bind('keydown', function (e) {
            s = $('#title').val();
            cnt = (s.length+1).toString();

// uncomment the following and the program will work
//alert(cnt);

            $('#count').text(cnt);

            });      
   
         
        });  // end $function()
   </script>

Code:

$('#title').textbox('textbox').bind('keydown', function (e) {
  s = $(this).val();
  //...
