Checking for Andrew in the array, can someone please help. Thanks

var $required = $(".required"); function containsBlanks () { var values = $required.map(function () { return $(this).val(); }); return $("Andrew", values) != -1; };

I think your problem here is putting the code inside the 'containsBlanks()` function which the challenge didn't ask for.

After the task1 code you should add in the .inArray method call. It's not really clear to me what should be the code for task 2.

I passed with this:

var values = $('.required').map(function () {
  return $(this).val();
});

$.inArray('Andrew', values);

It doesn't seem to require that you do anything with the return value of that method call.
