Question

Im using Joren Rapini’s validation code to for my online form. Joren’s Website

It allows you to check to see if an email address has been correctly entered, but I have 2 email addresses that I want to validate in the form.

Any idea how I would do this?

I’ve tried adding in email = $(“#youremail”); as well as the one that’s currently in the code which is email = $(“#receiveremail”); but it only works for one.

$(document).ready(function(){
    // Place ID's of all required fields here.
    required = ["youremail", "name", "receiveremail", "message"];

    // If using an ID other than #email or #error then replace it here
    email = $("#receiveremail");
    errornotice = $("#error");

    // The text to show up within a field when it is incorrect
    emptyerror = "Please fill out this field";
    emailerror = "Not a vaild email";
});

You need to run the validation code for your other field

in document.ready

otheremail = $("#otheremail");

in form submit

if (!/^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/.test(otheremail .val())) {
            otheremail .addClass("needsfilled");
            otheremail .val(emailerror);
        }

No offense to Joren Rapini but this code is hacky and shouldn’t be used for other than the smallest purpose.
