Prevent tool tips from momentarily appearing when page loads?

Link to lesson: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/jquery-basics/creating-a-password-confirmation-form/perfect

I've noticed that on my Password Confirmation Form, whenever I load the preview, the tool tips (which are supposed to be hidden at first) momentarily appear and then very quickly disappear. I noticed that it happens to the teacher's preview in the tutorial video as well.

I was just wondering how to change this code so that the tooltips never appear when the page first loads.

app.js:

var $password = $('#password');
var $confirmPassword = $('#confirm_password');


$('form span').hide();

function isPasswordValid() {
  return $password.val().length > 8;
}

function arePasswordsMatching() {
  return $password.val() === $confirmPassword.val();
}

function canSubmit(){
  return isPasswordValid() && arePasswordsMatching();
}

function passwordEvent(){
  if (isPasswordValid()) {
    $password.next().hide(); 
  } else {      
    $password.next().show();
  }
}

function confirmPasswordEvent() {
  if(arePasswordsMatching()) {
    $confirmPassword.next().hide();
  } else {
    $confirmPassword.next().show();
  }
}

function enableSubmitEvent() {
  $('#submit').prop("disabled", !canSubmit());
}


$password.focus(passwordEvent).keyup(passwordEvent).keyup(confirmPasswordEvent).keyup(enableSubmitEvent);


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

enableSubmitEvent();

:point_right: Just use the CSS to make it not displayed to start with:

input[type="password"] + span {
  display: none;
}
