I'm stuck on this quiz question. I'm drawing a complete blank on how to go about solving this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
//Problem: Hints are shown even when form is valid
//Solution: Hide and show them at appropriate times
var $password = $("#password");
var $confirmPassword = $("#confirm_password");
//Hide hints
$("form span").hide();
function isPasswordValid() {
return $password.val().length > 8;
}
function arePasswordsMatching() {
return $password.val() === $confirmPassword.val();
}
function canSubmit() {
return isPasswordValid() && arePasswordsMatching();
}
function passwordEvent(){
//Find out if password is valid
if(isPasswordValid()) {
//Hide hint if valid
$password.next().hide();
} else {
//else show hint
$password.next().show();
}
}
function confirmPasswordEvent() {
//Find out if password and confirmation match
if(arePasswordsMatching()) {
//Hide hint if match
$confirmPassword.next().hide();
} else {
//else show hint
$confirmPassword.next().show();
}
}
function enableSubmitEvent() {
$("#submit").prop("disabled", !canSubmit());
}
//When event happens on password input
$password.focus(passwordEvent).keyup(passwordEvent).keyup(confirmPasswordEvent).keyup(enableSubmitEvent);
//When event happens on confirmation input
$confirmPassword.keyup(enableSubmitEvent);
enableSubmitEvent();

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 29,113 PointsSometimes, the challenge question is a bit confusion, it ever happened to me. The solution is not hard, just follow the instruction: on line 51, call focus and keyop , and put the confirm password event function name into them. Hope you know what to now.
$confirmPassword.focus(the confirm pw event here).keyup(the confirm pw event here again);
