JavaScript jQuery Basics (2014) Creating a Password Confirmation Form Perform: Part 2

Confirmation hints do not show.

I have completed this code to the point where the password hint and the confirmation hints are both supposed to show/hide themselves depending on focus/keyup events.

It works perfectly with the initial password entry but falls short on the confirmation entry.

Can someone examine my code to see where I make a mistake? I see no errors in the console when running this code so I'm not sure where my error is.

Hi Carl,

Not been able to test this as I am at work, but it looks to me that you may have missed out the "#" when you defined your $confirmpassword variable.

What you have now:

var $password = $("#password");
var $confirmPassword = $("confirm_password");

What would be consistent:

var $password = $("#password");
var $confirmPassword = $("#confirm_password");

Perhaps that will help.

Rick
