7,260 PointsStuck on validEmail plugin
Hey guys I'm stuck and have no clue how to get past the second task in this project: Challenge task 2 of 4 Open a new script tag and using the "validEmail" plugin, store in a variable "isValid" whether the email address in the text input is valid.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Plugin</title>
<style type="text/css">
.valid {
color: green;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<input type="text" value="andrew@teamtreehouse">
</p>
<p>
<textarea>andrew@teamtreehouse.com</textarea>
</p>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type ="text/javascript" src="validEmail.js"></script>
<script>
$("input.email").validEmail({on:"input", success:_success_handler_, failure: _failure_handler_});
</script>
</body>
</html>
I figure I have to tweak the code in the plug in there but no matter what I try I can't figure it out, I keep getting a message saying the validEmail method wasn't called in input. Please help!

18,581 PointsSure enough! This is exactly what I had except that I wasn't putting "input" in quotes. Not really sure how it works though! The process shown in the video was quite different.
