Hey I was hoping if someone could help me out or give me some hints and tips. 1) I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be doing that, or if it'll work, and 2) How does/will it know if the email is the correct "type", as in, give an alert if the email is incorrect? Thank you for any help in advance. |

Your variable choice is correct, so dont worry about that. On the form itself, if you set the input type to "email" the code will automatically detect if i is a valid email. Hope this helps |

CGome, are you talking about <input type = "email" name = "customerEmail" placeholder = "UserName@Example.com">? I tried doing that for the input type, but it isn't really validating it. lol Am I doing something wrong? |

EPascua, try adding a "/" after your placeholder. You did not close your input, therefore the code cannot properly find the value. Try that. |

Hey thank you so much, I appreciate your help. I don't know if you can help me out on one last thing, please. For the "Order evaluation", I was trying to use if/else if loops to check each thing individually. I had variables equal to "" (just a space, basically), and if the result is true, the result would be "You did not enter ___". However, this clearly doesn't work well with the email validation, because if you simply entered a word (not with "@email.com"), it still results as "true" for an email, which is a problem since it's not really the email type. I changed the input type to email, as well. Any suggestions? Last edited by TonyOs1 at

I looked up some stuff online, and I know it says you can use "required", I'm just not sure if the "the reason will be in an alert" has to be for every thing (name, address, email, etc.) |
