Create a method called 'isValidEmail' that takes one argument that returns true when a string with an '@' symbol is passed, false if not.

var name = $("#name");
function isValidEmail(name)
{
return name.indexOf("@")!=-1
}

if(isValidEmail($(this).val()))
{
return true;
}else{return false;}

Sorry thats wrong all you need to do is take out all the code except for the function.

Hope that helps.

Try putting a space between != and -1.

Replace name with email.
