[HELP] Code Challenge: Simple Email Validation Plugin 2/4

Hello, I am stuck here. could you help me to figure this out?

I tried this (did not work) ;

<script type="text/javascript"> function isValidEmail(){ if $("input").validEmail() $isValid = $("input"); }); </script>

Then I tried this (did not work);

<script type="text/javascript"> $("input").validEmail({on:"keyup", success:function(){ $(this) = $isValid; } }); </script>

I really don't know what I am supposed to do...

On step 2/4, according to the directions you should put:

<script type="text/javascript">
     var isValid = $("input").validEmail();
</script>

Just looks like you were getting ahead of yourself, but good work.

Y H,

Sam is right. I think you're supposed to just call the validEmail function; later steps in the code challenge ask you to fill in the argument with <code>{on: ..., success: ..., failure: ...}</code>. When it gets to that point, don't forget to include an anonymous function for <code>failure:</code>, as I don't think that's optional for this code challenge; it doesn't look like you included that in your code above.

Best,

J.T.

Oh thank you so much for your help Sam and J.T.! I was thinking too much and also mixed the variable sign with php.

Thank you again!
