Question

I’m sure there must be a simple solution to this..

I simply want to create a rudimentary human verification tool for an online form. In pseudo-code, something like

$answer = "foo";

if (form['question'] == $foo){
    // Proceed
} else {
    // Fail
}

The jQuery docs seem to have an equalTo method but this is to compare a form field with another form value..

Any tips greatly appreciated! 🙂

You need to have a look at JQuery Validation plugin at http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/validation. Consider the following example:

You may change the rules as explained in the plugin to implement your custom validations.
