my char is facing downwards

im using LookAt to make my char face the direction he’s moving, but the problem is he is facing downwards, here is my code:

    var runspeed: float = 3;
var gravity: float =15;
var jumpSpeed:float = 5;
private var moveDirection: Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
static var grounded: boolean = false;
private var controller:CharacterController;
private var flags : CollisionFlags;

function Start () {
}

function Update () {
	if(grounded)
	{
		moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"),0,Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));	
		moveDirection *= runspeed;
		if(Input.GetButton("Jump"))
			{
			moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
			}
	}
	
	moveDirection.y-=gravity*Time.deltaTime; //this what makes my char face downward
	controller = GetComponent(CharacterController);
	flags = controller.Move(moveDirection*Time.deltaTime*runspeed);
	grounded = (flags & CollisionFlags.CollidedBelow) !=0;
	gameObject.transform.LookAt(gameObject.transform.position + moveDirection);
}


@script RequireComponent(CharacterController)

im not good at using euler angles, so i used LookAt.
how do i make him not to face downward w/out taking the variable gravity.

If moveDirection is a vector null, LookAt will probably behave like that. If the sqrMagnitude is < small value, you should not rotate.
