unable to submit the button to enter new page

Hi all,

Need some help here, not sure why my button doesn't bring me to the new page when both passwords are matching? Many thanks!

//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() {
   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.focus(confirmPasswordEvent).keyup(confirmPasswordEvent).keyup(enableSubmitEvent);

enableSubmitEventSubmit();
