Expected Functionality for NewsletterSignup Component

The NewsletterSignup component above is setup to alternate between confirmation and error states when an email address is submitted. This means that the first time an email address is submitted, it will show a successful confirmation message. The second time an email address is submitted, it will show an error message. The third time will show success again. And so on.

Please note, however, that there is no server-side validation of the email addresses that are submitted, so the only validation in action here is the default browser based email validation.

The component is also configured to reset after a 5-second pause once an email address is submitted.

Have fun.
