Question

I have a php form that gets validated through javascript. I would like to add another field to the form where the user has to confirm their email. How can I do this in the javascript validation file please?
Here is my current validation for the initial email form:

this.setHandler('email',
        function (value) {
            regex=/^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@([a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9.-]{2,4}$/;
            return regex.test(value);
        }
    );

Answer 1

Adapt something like this…

this.setHandler('email-confirm',
    function (value) {
        return value == document.getElementsByTagName('email')[0].value;
    }
);

Assuming your confirm email‘s name (or whatever the first argument to setHandler()) is email-confirm, and the original email input’s name is email (and assuming it is the first element of such).

Basically, I’m comparing the current value of the email-confirm to the original value, and if they are equal, the function returns true.
