Confirm you email address

@pj_amp_bOct 27.2003

I’m trying to confirm that the email address and confirm email address are the same. I have enter this code but it always come back with the error message even when the email and confirm email address are the same.

return false;}

}
</script>
</head>
in the body i have the onsubmit:

It should compare the two to make sure they are the same and move on to creating the email and confirmation page. If I don’t check the two email address just send the email and create the confirmaiton page everything works. Well I mean they can enter two different email but the email goes out and the confirmation page is created.

PLEASE Help. This is my first page.

@GollumOct 27.2003 — #by the looks of things,

Email1 and Email2 are text boxes inside your form.

The problems I can see are...

where you say onsubmit="Compare(Email1,Email2);", The terms Email1 and Email2 don't mean anything by themselves. You might try "Compare(this.Email1,this.Email2)" or "Compare(FrontPage_Form1.Email1,FrontPage_Form1.Email2)"

in your function Compare(Email1,Email2), you don't actually use the two arguments at all (even though you have FrontPage_Form1.Email1.value, etc) so the function is probably not acting the way you think it is (although it will probably work due to the coincidental fact that the element names are the same. You could change the first line to

<i>
 </i>if (Email1.value == Email2.value)

@pj_amp_bauthorOct 27.2003 — #Ok I've changed the onsubmit to include the

onsubmit ="Compare(FrontPage_Form1.Email1, FrontPage_Form1.Email2)"

Are you saying next that:

function Compare(FrontPage_Form1.Email1, FrontPage_Form1.Email2)

should be more like

function Compare(this).

and the code below the function:

{if (Email1.value == Email2.value)

{return true;}

else

{ alert("Your Email Address and Confirm Email Address must be the same.");

return false;}

}

</script>

</head>

This still comes back with an error when the two emails are the same. Sorry I know it's hard to work with people new to this. But thank you I've worked all week end.
