Hi, all... (and perhaps you're around, Jorn?)
One of the things that confuses me most about JS
is the bracketing that has to occur.
Jorn, I've tried to place the submitHandler in my code
and I don't know if I've done that correctly, but I do know
that I'm getting an error in Firebug:
"missing { before function body"
$("#MC_Form").validate({\n
Before I moved my code that was handling the mortgage calculation
inside the validation code, I wasn't getting this error.
I'm sure it's because I'm missing a bracket somewhere (as it says),
but I'm not sure how to correct my code.
Can someone review the code below for proper bracketing (or anything
else you may notice) and tell me how to correct it?
Thanks for the help!
Rick
