Jquery Build an interactive site task 2/3

Hi, I'm having difficulties with this task, I'm unsure whether it's explained very well or whether it's just me.

Task is:

Create a method called 'requiredValues' that returns an array of all the values of inputs with the class of 'required'.

My Code:

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

The task URL:

http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-an-interactive-website/form-validation-and-manipulation/checking-values

If anybody could help it would be much appriciated!

Thanks,

Adam

Your code looks great, you just aren't returning the array. You need to add return myArray; like so:

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

Keep up the great work.

Hey Ken cheers for that one! Though now i'm having issues with the task after,

task: Create a method called 'containsBlanks' that returns true if any inputs with class 'required' has an empty string in, false if not.

mycode: var containsBlanks = new function(){ if $(".required").val() == ""){ return true; } else { return false; } }
