form validation > code challenge: modifying attributes NEED HELP PLEASE

Glad you figured it out Domenico. If you have any more issues please let us know!

Hi, sorry, I ran into the same issue, can I ask why you need to add the p tag?

You should just be able to get away with $("#email").

Hi Andrew, that makes sense... thanks for the prompt reply... cheers mate.

n/p :)

I tried it with and without the p tag and didn't get it to work. I tried all of the above. What am I doing wrong?

Post your code in so we can take a look.

Use the markdown cheetsheet below the comment box to see how to format it.

This is what I entered and it's not accepting it:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="app.js"> $("input #email").addClass("valid");
</script>

This is my code:

var $email = $("#email input");
$email.addClass(".valid");

Is there a reason this isn't working? I'm using code that was shown in the video. The error is telling me "You need to call the addClass method". The prompts could be more specific. Is it because I put #email before input?

Hi Ken Francis,

What your selecting in this is a input in a container with the id of #email...

<div id="email">
  <input type="text">
</div>

You need to select the input with the id of email.

<input type="text" id="email">

Hope that helps.

Hey Andrew,

That makes sense to me, however, how is that different to the video where when making the var we needed $(".submit input")? Is this a class vs Id thing or ??

thanks!
