Need help with a jQuery drag and drop, thankyou ^_^

Hi there, I'm building a super simple drag and drop but my console is telling me that the submit function is not defined.

<!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Yay for drap and drops!</title> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> div { height: 100px; width: 100px; border: solid 2px #000; margin: 10px; } </style> <script> $(document).ready(function() { $("#correct").draggable(); //I have drag capability now! $("#wrong").draggable(); //I have drag capability now! $("#dropArea1").droppable({ //I drop area capability now! drop: function(event,ui) { var answer = $(ui.draggable).attr("id"); console.log (answer);

}

})

function validate() {
   if (answer == ("correct")) {
   window.location.replace("http://www.google.com") //correct! redirect web page to next activity
}
   else {
   window.alert("Incorrect, try again") //incorrect, try again
}

} })

</script> </head> <body> <div id="correct"> <p>CORRECT ANSWER</p> </div>

<div id="wrong"> <p>WRONG ANSWER</p> </div>

<div id="dropArea1"> <p>I'm the drop area</p> </div>

<button onclick="validate()">Submit</button> </body> </html>
