validating email address

Hi all,

Can anyone help me with hopefully a simple validation script?!

I have a form that asks you to fill in an email address, you then have to confirm the email address by entering it again in a new field to make sure that it is the same.

Is there away i can place some code in the confirm email field so that if it differs from the previous field, then it flags a warning/error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

If the first field is called email1 and the second email2, you can use something like this as the Validation script of email2:

email1 = this.getField("email1").value;if (event.value!=email1) app.alert("Problem!");

Be aware that this will not work if field1 is edited, then field2, and then field1 once again.
