You should use jquery.keydown in $(document).ready. Also make sure that you've unique id of the div.

HTML:

<input  id="yourId" type="text">

JS:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#yourId").keydown(function(evt) {
         alert('Hello');
    }); 
});

Your code is correct. I think you must make sure you included jquery. And also make sure your text element has the same Id as used in your jquery code.

In this case make sure the input type is the following.

 <input type="text" id="id" />

Also press F12 and look in the console what error is occurring.
