Question

I know that there are a bunch of posts about this already, but no matter what I try, nothing works for my form.

I simply want the submit button to be disabled until all fields are filled in, and I want $mypassword checked to equal $myconfirmpassword before submitting.

If you can find something that works. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Answer 1

Instead of disabling the submit button, why don’t you just try to validate the form so that until the user enters the correct values, the form will not be submitted to the database? And about the password and confirm password fields validation

   <script type="text/javascript">
    function passwordConfirm() {
        var confirmPass = document.getElementById("confirmpassid").value
        if(pass != confirmPass) {
            alert("Mismatching passwords");
        }
      }
