Internet Explorer key down event messing up

Question

so I have this code:

$('.textarea').bind('keydown', function(){
  alert('yooooo');
});

now suppose I enter a bunch of chracters into textarea, then press Ctrl+A (or select all) and then press backspace, in Firefox the 'yoooo' will be alerted properly following the backspace, but not in Internet Explorer...

is there a way to make this also work in IE for that action (select all then backspace)...is there some other event that I need to use?

Works for me in IE9... http://jsfiddle.net/BarAB/

It's annoying as all hell, but it does what you want it to in IE as well.
