I have a week and 1/2 stuck on this Jquery password question

I did everything and they I copied everything the guy did on the video and I'm still getting it wrong

http://teamtreehouse.com/library/using-focus-and-keyup

//hide
Var $password = $("password");
var $confirmPassword = $("#confirm_password");


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

function passwordEvent(){

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

function confirmPasswordEvent() {

  if($password.val() === $confirmPassword.val()) {

    $confirmPassword.next().hide();
  } else {

    $confirmPassword.next().show();
  } 
}



$password.focus(passwordEvent).keyup(passwordEvent).focus(confirmPasswordEvent).keyup(confirmPasswordEvent);    

$confirmPassword.focus(confirmPasswordEvent).keyup(confirmPasswordEvent);

Hi Joe,

This challenge is only asking you to add some code to line 51. Everything else should be left untouched.

It sounds like you have modified and possibly retyped the code that's in the challenge. You have several typos in this code.

I would recommend that you refresh the challenge to get the existing code back and then focus on line 51.

line 51:

$confirmPassword.keyup(enableSubmitEvent);

You want to add on to this what the instructions are asking for. You have it in your last line of code except you removed the already existing keyup handler.

You're welcome.

You're right. It does pass with that.

I would think that you should be adding on to the existing handler though.

$confirmPassword.keyup(enableSubmitEvent).focus(confirmPasswordEvent).keyup(confirmPasswordEvent);

Both pass the challenge so I'm not sure which one it's expecting you to do.

Glad you can move on though.
