wrap it up in an anonymous function (video transcript 8:49)

By the end of the movie clip you mention at 8:49 "You may want to wrap this up in an anonymous function, and you call the password and the confirmed password together on two separate lines."

Can you provide a example?

Remi,

I'm guessing he meant something like this:

// When event happens on password input
$password.focus(function() {
  passwordEvent();
  confirmPasswordEvent();
}).keyup(function() {
  passwordEvent();
  confirmPasswordEvent();
});

Although I'd really like to see someone with more experience, or better yet, the instructor himself, provide an example of what he meant. If it's like what I wrote above, to me that looks more confusing than the original line:

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

Which can be cleaned up by doing:

$password.on("focus keyup", function() {
  passwordEvent();
  confirmPasswordEvent();
});

Hi Fidel,

That last one seems like a good idea. I hadn't thought of that.
