Code Challenge: jQuery, containsBlanks method

Hi there, I've been struggling with this for the past hour and cannot seem to find the error.

Fisrt my code: 

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

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

function containsBlanks()
{

  var blanks = false;
  var req = requiredValues(); 
  var len = req.length;

  for(var i = 0, i < len, i++)
  {
if (req[i] == "")
   blanks = true;
  }
  return blanks;
}

Whenever I define the last function it starts saying That the first function has stoped working. I have tried many different ways of defining my thrid function containsBlanks and it always gies the same error. I haven't even managed to see if it it well written!!!

Just a guess: doesn't var len = req.length need to be var len=req.length();
