Form Validation and Manipulation 2/3

I'm having trouble with 2/3. This is what I'm doing:

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

var $required = $('input.required[type="text"]');
function requiredValues() {
  var Values = new Array();
  $required.each(function(){
Values.push($required.val());
  });
return Values();
    }

Jameson, I'm seeing two problems:

1.) Your selection for $required is overly specific. A simple $(".required") gives you inputs with the class ".required".

2.) You return statement is calling a undefined method. Drop the "()" and you'll be returning the actual array you created.

Hi, I still don´t get it right.... what do I wrong?

function requiredValues() {
var values = new Array();

$(".required").each(function(){
values.push($(".required").val());
});

return values;
};

// EDIT

GOT IT right now!

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

Spot on!

$(".required").val() is calling val() on all the .required at once. Whereas you need to call it on each of them, so, yep $(this).val() is correct!
