I'm getting the following error when I use the following code in challenge 3/4. The problem is that nothing has changed that invalidates the variable in step 2.
Can someone please let me know where I'm going wrong?
Bummer! You didn't call 'validEmail' on the selected textarea
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="validEmail.js"></script>
<script>
var isValid = $("input").validEmail();
$("textarea").validEmail({on:keyup, success:function(){}, failure: function(){}});
</script>
