Forms: copy email to Front Page form

[mikeeusa]

I use FP and have a form already built and running. I need a way to validate the correctness of the email address.

I have tried to put a validation/checker form within my current form, but it doesn't work like I want.

My idea was to have an email validation (double entry) form above the registration form that I use and if the email address is true, have it auto entered on the registration form.

My other thought was to have a lead page with the email validator form on it and if the two entries matched it would auto direct you to the registration form AND fill in the email address automatically.

Pie in the sky??

By the way, I know HTML but script is out of my league so please be specific as to what I need to do.

I need a way to validate the correctness of the email address.

You mean to validate the correctness of the format of the email address? ...or validate that the email address is actually recognized by the appropriate mail server? I'm presuming the first, because the second is impossible for JavaScript to accomplish by itself. Some sophisticated server-side code (i.e., using IP sockets) is required to validate that an email address is recognized by the appropriate mail server. Even then, many mail servers are configured not to reveal if the email address is accepted or not. The reason for this is to prevent spammers from figuring out valid email addresses just by asking the mail server what is valid.
