Build an Interactive Website - Code Challenge: Checking Values

I have completed step 1 and 2 and been given the green light for each. Now When i input my code for step 3, it tells me that my code for step 1 is no longer valid. If a remove my code from step 3, step 1 becomes valid again. I can't see how the containsBlanks() function is affecting the isValidEmail() function?

function isValidEmail(email){ return email.indexOf('@') != -1; }

function requiredValues(){ var requiredInputs = new Array(); $('.required').each(function(){ requiredInputs.push($(this).val()); }) return requiredInputs;
}

function containsBlanks(){ var blanks = new Array(); $('.required').each(function(){ blanks.push($(this).val() == "");
} return blanks.sort().pop();
}

I have tried putting your first answer(function isValidEmail(email){ return email.indexOf('@') != -1; }) in as the answer to the first question, but It is not working for me. I have literally copied and pasted it from not only the video previous to the challenge, but from what you have written here as well, which seems to be the same.

What am I doing wrong?

It appears that in the function containsBlanks, you have a semantics error. Double check all of your curly brackets, parenthesis, and colon usages to make sure everything that was opened, was closed properly. I think you'll find you left one open.

Aha thanks Kevin.

Funny how every time i rewrote that function i missed the same parenthesis!
