Task 1 of Form Validation and Manipulation Stage 2

$('#hint span').hide();

Is there something wrong with this code? I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks you!

# selects elements by ID. "." (period/dot) selects elements by class.

Also the challenge asks for all elements, so you can drop span, as what you have there actually selects spans wrapped inside an element with ID hint.
