Confirm Email Field on Form

Confirm Email Field on Form

I know I have seen it before but I absolutely could not find the thread through the search.

I just want to have people type their email address in twice to verify there are no typos. So Email: and then Confirm Email: which will check to see if the spelling is the same.

If you could link me to the right direction that would be awesome. Thanks

after the page is created, add a new form element for confirming the email address, then open the server behaviors panel and double click the server validation server behavior to edit it.

select the Like Entry validation type, then click the lightning bolt next to server variable to select the Email form element binding.

When you click the plus button to add the validation, you will be prompted to select the comparison, select the binding for the new element that was added.

Okay, I created a form with email and confirm-email fields. Made both required:

$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateEM((isset($_POST["email_address"])?$_POST["email_address"]:"") . "",true,3);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ((isset($_POST["email_confirm"])?$_POST["email_confirm"]:"") . "",true,4);

Then I created a validation to make them match (I think):

$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateLE(((isset($_POST["email_address"]))?$_POST["email_address"]:"") . "",((isset($_POST["email_confirm"]))?$_POST["email_confirm"]:"") . "",true,12);

And under the confirm email field there's the original show-if validation:

<?php
if (ValidatedField('contactpublicrecords','contactpublicrecords')) {
if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("contactpublicrecords","contactpublicrecords").","), "," . "4" . ",") !== false || "4" == "")) {
if (!(false)) {
?>
<span class="serverInvalidState" id="email_confirm_ServerError">Please retype your email address</span>
<?php //WAFV_Conditional contact_public_records.php contactpublicrecords(4:)
}
}
}?>

If I delete the confirm-email required line (#4) and, in the show-if validation code change 4 to 12, will that make it work? I mean, it works now but if the email addresses don't match, there's no pop-up -- the form page just reappears with no error message.

I've attached the page (you just looked at it for another thread).

Yes, just updating the 4 to 12 everywhere it occurs in that code should work.

Almost, but I'm still getting something wrong. If the two fields match, I go to the thank-you page and get the contents in an email. But if they don't match, there's no error and the page just reloads with all of the fields filled in. I'm attaching the latest page. Thanks! I know these little things must make you want to tear your hair out on some days.

It looks like it should work. If you give me FTP access and a url to view the page I can debug it directly.

Here they are.

Also, it's okay to test the form. The mail goes only to me at this point.

You had repeated jquery htm5 validation code that was causing issues. I moved it lower on the page and removed the repeated code and it appears to be working properly now.
