How to create a yahoo.ie email address?

How do I create a text field that requires people to confirm their email address?

• I have seen this on websites I have used in the past (it seems to be used mostly for passwords, when they ask you to enter your password twice, and if they don't match, it won't let you submit the form). So how can I do the same thing for an email address? This is the code I have so far, I have already created two fields (Email Address) and (Confirm Email Address). <span id="sprytextfield1">Email Address <input type="text" name="text1" id="text1" /> <span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">Please enter an email address.</span></span><span id="sprytextfield4">Confirm Email Address <input type="text" name="text4" id="text4" /> <span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">A value is required. What code do I need to make the form only submit when both email addresses match? Thank you for any help.

• Answer:

  The whole process of password or mail would bi similar. You have a form which onsubmit calls a Javascript function with return value to validate your form. If the form is valid (in this case both emails match) the function will return true and form submit, if not it won't do anything. <form action="example.php" onsubmit="return validate_form()"> <input type="text" id="mail1" /> <input type="text" id="mail2" /> <!-- rest of your elements --> </form> and the Javascript part: <script type="text/javascript"> function validate_form() { var str1 = document.getElementById("mail1").value; //here you can check whether str1 is a valid email var str2 = document.getElementById("mail2").value; if(str1 != "" && str1 == str2) return true; else return false //and here you can create warning so the user knows what's wrong that form won't submit } </script>
