Currently working with Javascript and JQuery (both which I'm new to so go easy on me) and the goal is to, when the form is filled out incorrectly. To add add a message that says the form is incorrect. When the form is inputed correctly, then the "incorrect" message should be removed. However, after inputed a bad input to prompt the additional HTML, when I correct the form to get rid of it, the javascript terminates after the remove function.
Also, is there anyway to remove on condition? In other words, is there a pre-existing method that says, "if the html exists to remove, then remove, else do nothing." or do I have to write my own flag.
$(document).ready(function ()
{
$('#basic').on('submit', function(e)
{
if(!isBasicInfoValid())
{
if(!error)
{
$('#basic').append($("<div class='basicError'>Input is not valid! </div>"));
}
error=true;
}
else if(error)
{
error=false;
$('#basic').remove($(".basicError"));
//program is stopping after remove for some reason
}
e.preventDefault();
});
};
