CSS jQuery Basics (2014) Creating a Password Confirmation Form Improving the form validation

Got stuck on jQuery Basics

On line 11 in app.js, implement the isUsernamePresent function. Return true if the username length is greater than 0.

I think my code is right, but I keep getting bummer for some reason. Can anyone help me?

js/app.js
//Problem: Hints are shown even when form is valid
//Solution: Hide and show them at appropriate times
var $password = $("#password");
var $confirmPassword = $("#confirm_password");
var $username = $("#username");

//Hide hints
$("form span").hide();

function isUsernamePresent() {
function isUsernamePresent() { 
  if ( $username.val().length > 0){ return true; } }
}

function isPasswordValid() {
  return $password.val().length > 8;
}

function arePasswordsMatching() {
  return $password.val() === $confirmPassword.val();
}

function canSubmit() {
  return isPasswordValid() && arePasswordsMatching();
}

function passwordEvent(){
    //Find out if password is valid  
    if(isPasswordValid()) {
      //Hide hint if valid
      $password.next().hide();
    } else {
      //else show hint
      $password.next().show();
    }
}

function confirmPasswordEvent() {
  //Find out if password and confirmation match
  if(arePasswordsMatching()) {
    //Hide hint if match
    $confirmPassword.next().hide();
  } else {
    //else show hint 
    $confirmPassword.next().show();
  }
}

function enableSubmitEvent() {
  $("#submit").prop("disabled", !canSubmit());
}


function usernameEvent() {
  if(isUsernamePresent()) {
    $username.next().hide();
  } else {
    $username.next().show();
  } 
}

//When event happens on password input
$password.focus(passwordEvent).keyup(passwordEvent).keyup(confirmPasswordEvent).keyup(enableSubmitEvent);

//When event happens on confirmation input
$confirmPassword.focus(confirmPasswordEvent).keyup(confirmPasswordEvent).keyup(enableSubmitEvent);

$username.focus(usernameEvent).keyup(usernameEvent).keyup(enableSubmitEvent);

enableSubmitEvent();

Hi Mizuho,

It seems you have duplicated the function definition

function isUsernamePresent() {
function isUsernamePresent() { 
  if ( $username.val().length > 0){ return true; } }
}

just remove one

function isUsernamePresent() { 
  if ( $username.val().length > 0){ return true; } 
}

Hi Hugo,

Yay! that's works! thank you.
