I am confused as to how to configure the confirm email field.
Please advise.
Thank you,

Hi Jo,

What exactly is the problem?

Please see this FAQ

Bob

I would like to configure the "confirm email" field so that when someone types in their email address, it is confirmed in the next field so that it is the same as or is checked against the previous field. Is this possible? I have included an image of the example form.
thanks,
Jo

Hi Jo,

OK - so the FAQ I linked to is what you need?

Bob

I have made the field name of the first email address 'emailaddress1'.

i have placed validate['confirm:email_address_1'] in the field class of the second email address.

When i save and test the form, there is no validation when i type in an inconsistently named address in the second field.

Please advise.
thanks,
Jo

Hi Jo,

The FAQ says

Replacing input_name_1 by the name of the first input element.

And I think that the name of your first input element is emailaddress1 not email_address_1.

ok i get it. so it's only when the submit button is hit that the error message comes up. I guess i was looking for some kind of ajax motion as soon as i placed a different email address in the form.
Thank you so much for your patience and help.
I will be buying the full version very soon.

Hi Jo,

You can set the validation to 'On Submit and On Blur' on the JS Validation tab for the form (click the form name link in the Forms Manager to see it).
