When I type a password in the password field greater than 8 characters the input disappears not the hint. Fix it.
//Problem: Hints are shown even when form is valid //Solution: Hide and show them at appropriate times
//Hide hints $("form span").hide();
function passwordEvent(){
//Find out if password is valid
if($(this).val().length > 8) {
//Hide hint if valid
$(this).hide();
} else {
//else show hint
$(this).next().show();
}
}
//When event happens on password input $("#password").focus(passwordEvent).keyup(passwordEvent);
//When event happens on confirmation input //Find out if password and confirmation match //Hide hint if match //else show hint

7,322 PointsOn line 11, it's just hiding the current element. In this case, it's the hint. In order to call the next element, it's simply .next()
Code on Line 11 should appear as such:
$(this) .next() .hide();

25,973 PointsWhen you're calling $(this).hide() you're going to hide the password field. You want to call hide() on the hint element instead.
