I'm trying to build out a concept for creating accounts.
The part I just can't seem to work out is how to get the text of the "Sign In" button to update to "Sign Up" if there is a value in the "email address" input.
Once the user hits "Sign Up", if their is no text in the "password" input, it will show the span with the class .error. It's safe to say I know why JS is my least favourite out of the three haha.
Here is the link to the codepen http://codepen.io/cambourke/pen/plcdy?editors=101
I've tried to comment the JS to help give you an idea of whats going on. A massive thanks to anyone who can help out! You are a champ.

28,489 PointsI don't know if this helps, but length is a property and not a function of string.
