how to use .length with "input"

I have two text fields which are pretty much the same. The only difference is that one has a name of "name" and the other a name of "surname".

I am trying to not use ID's but rather just "input" to trigger a loader when either has text inputted.

$(document).ready(function(){
		$("input").keyup(function(){
			if("input".length >3){
				$(".loader").show();	
				}
			});
		});

Select all Open in new window

The loader should only display after 3 characters are entered. With this code, the loader appears after typing only one character.

Secondly, how can I get the loader to show in the text box that has text being entered into it?
