[jQuery] split email address into 2 fields; syntax error...

[typenerd]

<code>
                $(document).ready(function(){
                        $("#email").change(function () {
                                var email_addy = $('#email').val();
                                var name_bit = email_addy.(split("@")[0]);
                                $('#username').val() = name_bit;
                        }).change();
                });
</code>

I'm getting an XML error on the split function; can someone help me take
this:

dave.t...@test.com

and split that into 2 pieces:

dave.test
&
test.com
