Javascript/jquery if statements aren't working

Question

I've really been racking my few brain cells on this one- It seems simple enough but I can't get it to work- ``` $(function() { function check() { var myname = $("#myname").val(); var myemail = $("#myemail").val(); var password = $("#password").val(); var repeatpassword = $("#repeatpassword").val(); if (myname == "") { $("#mynameresult").append("Please Enter Your Name"); return false; } if (myemail =="") { $("#myemailresult").append("Please Enter Your Email"); return false; } if (password == "") { $("#passwordresult").append("Please Enter a Password"); return false; } if (repeatpassword == "") { $("#repeatpasswordresult").append("Please Repeat the Password"); return false; } return true; } }); ``` My form looks like this- ```

Accepted Answer

You're defining your "check" function inside the "ready" callback. Therefore, it's not global, so you can't call it from your "submit" handler.

Attach your submit handler via jQuery instead:

```
$('form').submit( check );
```

Put that at the end (inside) the "ready" handler.
