jQuery functions in an overlay

I have an overlay in which i have placed one .jsp file which has one textbox. Find below the content of .jsp file:

<input id="sample" size="15" type="text">

Now i want to fire a keyup event on this textbox using below jQuery function:

jQuery(function() {
  alert("hi 1");
  //will perform some other tasks//
  jQuery("sample").keyup(function() {
    alert("hi 2");                  
  });
});

Note: Nothing is coming up.

The problem here is that you're not calling jQuery right. The selectors in jQuery are similar to CSS - #yourId and .yourClassName

You'll need:

    jQuery("#sample").keyup(
        function() {
            alert("hi 2");                  
        }
    );

You need a # in an #id selector (otherwise it's an element selector, looking for a <sample> element), like this:

jQuery("#sample").keyup(function() {
  alert("hi 2");                    
});
