Hello all,

My $.ajax() is running even when my validateRegistration() is invalid. My validateRegistration() is registering true wether its valid or invalid. Could someone look at this method and let me know if they see anything wrong with it.

What will your function return if the email address is empty, the password is 4 characters long, and the second password matches the first?

[exceedinglife]

It always returns TRUE I'm not sure why I stepped through the JS and the validregister() returns isvalid = false so why on the if(validreg()) it returns true... I have if(validreg()){alert("valid");}else{alert("Invalid");} Its always valid

[exceedinglife]

I now have it solved what  I needed to do what return false on each validation instead of having isvalid = false because it was overwriting it at the end.

function validate()
    isValid = true;

    if email is invalid 
        set isValid = false
    if password is invalid 
        set isValid = false
    if passwords do not match 
        set isValid = false

    return isValid
end
