Hints do not hide after 8 characters

//Problem: Hints are shown even when form is valid
//Solution: Hide and show them at appropriate times

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

function passwordEvent () {
  //password valid
  if($(this).val().length > 8) {
    //hide hint if valid
    $(this).next().hide();
  } else {
    //else show hint
    $(this).next().show();     
};

//when event happens on password input
$("#password").focus(passwordEvent).keyup(passwordEvent);



//when event happens on confirmation
  //find out it password and confirmation match
    //hide hint if matched
    //else show hint

Hi, just scanning your code I see that you're missing a closing bracket after your else statement. That may be causing the mistaken logic?
