Verify password ?

[developer]

Hello!

My first post here. :)

I do have a sign up fom with:

Password:
Enter Password Again:

(pw1 and pw2 is the names)

How do I please check if they are the same, and if they are not have a pop up window saying that?

Thanks,

[Jona]

<form action="" name="myForm" onsubmit="if(this.form.pw1.value != this.form.pw2.value){ alert('Password values do not match.'); return false;}"><div>
<input type="password" name="pw1"><br>
<input type="password" name="pw2"><br>
<input type="submit" value=" Submit ">
</div></form>

Hi! :)

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I do alreaduy have a onsubmit in the form tag so it won't work, so I am now trying to put your code in the head with the other validation.



if (tomtvalidation(username,"Enter user name please")==false)
{username.focus(); return false;};

if (tomtvalidation(password,"Enter password please")==false)
{password.focus(); return false;};

if (tomtvalidation(verifypassword,"Enter verify password please")==false)
{verifypassword.focus(); return false;};

if(this.form.password.value != this.form.verifypassword.value)
(alert('Password values do not match.'); return false;);

[developer]

if(this.form.password.value != this.form.verifypassword.value)
(alert('Password values do not match.' ) ; return false ; ) ;


That is.

Not quite, change the this.form part to document.forms["name_of_the_form"]

He probably just wants to put it all in one function to simplify it.

Hello again!

I really don't get the pieces together. :(

How do I please add(with semicolon)

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="register.php" onsubmit="return formvalidation(this)>

and

onsubmit="if(this.form.pw1.value != this.form.pw2.value){ alert('Password values do not match.'); return false;}"

Thanks again...

Works now.

*happy* :)



if(register.password.value != register.verifypassword.value)
{alert('Password values do not match.'); return false ;};
