Courses Plus Student 8,710 PointsJQuery Plugins: Simple Email Validation Plugin Challenge 3 of 4
I'm getting an error that doesn't make sense. According to the code engine, after passing Task 2, my code breaks it in Task 3. Please help.
<script type="text/javascript">
var isValid = $("input").validEmail();
var isValid2 = $("textarea").validEmail(on:"keyup", success:function(){}, failure:function(){});
</script>
I've tried it both with and without assigning the value of the second validEmail() call to a variable, and get the same error. At this point, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Don't forget that the hash that you pass through as an argument to the validEmail() method, should be encapsulated in curly braces! You're passing through one argument to the method, not three separate ones.
The way you have it:
$("textarea").validEmail(on:"keyup", success:function(){}, failure:function(){});
Notice that your version of the code omits curly braces. If you rewatch the Simple Email Validation Plugin video again, you might notice that Andrew puts his on:, success:, and failure: arguments into an option hash surrounded by curly braces.
Let me know if that doesn't fix your issues, or if any of my explanation is unclear to you.
Cheers,
J.T.

Courses Plus Student 8,710 PointsJT, that makes perfect sense. I completely missed the extra curly braces, both here and when I watched the original video. Thanks!

Semi colons, single equals, missing curly braces and brackets are always a problem!
Some of most fun and effective times I've had developing is pair programming because you catch each others missing syntax and you can learn a lot too.
