No clue what you are asking. Explain what should happen...

No clue what you are asking. The code itself is clear up until the focus parts and the comments explain absolutely nothing. Please elaborate on what should happen...

The code binds the confirmPasswordEvent function to the focus and keyup events so that when the person clicks on the Confirm Password field the 'Please confirm your password' span is shown and will stay until the password is correct.

The answer is

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

thks,

I guess its just confusing cause this is not the way of handling this and a bad example of focus and keyup.
