How to move while jumping?

Question

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;

 public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public float speed = 6.0F;
     public float jumpSpeed = 8.0F;
     public float gravity = 20.0F;
     private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
     void Update()
     {
         CharacterController controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
         if (controller.isGrounded)
             {
             moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
             moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
             moveDirection *= speed;
             if (Input.GetButton("Jump"))
                 moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
             

         }
         moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
         controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
     }
 }

I'm using this script to move and jump around. When I jump it doesn't allow me to move a different direction mid-jump. How would I accomplish this?

You basically need to move your xz calculations out of the isGounded restriction.

  public float speed = 6.0F;
  public float jumpSpeed = 8.0F;
  public float gravity = 20.0F;
  Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
  CharacterController controller;

  void Awake(){
      controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
  }

  void Update(){
      moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
      moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
      moveDirection *= speed;
      if (controller.isGrounded && Input.GetButton("Jump")){
              moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
      }
      moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
      controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
  }
