Question

I’m using JQuery to get values from a form. When I submit the form I want to make a check on that the user has enterd the same e-mail twice and that the format is correct of the email. I can’t figure out how to do it. Here’s my if-clause which firebug complains at:

   $('#subscribe_now').submit(function(event) {


    regExp = /^[^@]+@[^@]+$/;

       if(($('#email1').val().search(regExp) == -1) || ($('#email1').val() != $('#email2').val()))) 
             return false;
        }
        else
        {
             return true
        }
     }

How should I do this?

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

$('#idOfForm').submit(function () {
    if ($('#email1').val() != $('#email2').val()) {
        // display error
        return false; // Prevent form submitting
    }
})
