I've created a form that works fine.
I have asked the customer to enter there email address. Than I want them to enter there email address again to confirm that they have entered it correctly. The same as this sites reg page does. I need the code to back that up. Any help?;) ;)

You'll want this to be server-side tested as well, because it can be "gotten through" if only client-side validated.

function validate_email(argA, argB){
if(argA == argB){return true;}
return false;}
</script></head>
<body>
<form action="script.php" onsubmit="validate_email(this.form.email.value, this.form.email_confirm.value);">
<div>
<input type="text" name="email" value="Email"><br>
<input type="text" name="email_confirm" value="Confirm Email">
</div></form>
</body></html>
