If your two text boxes are named email1 and email2, as in:
<input type="text" name="email1" size="20">
<input type="text" name="email2" size="20">
then add this attribute to your <form> tag
<form onsubmit="chkEmail();" ... >
and add this script to the <head> section.
<script>
function chkEmail()
{
if (document.forms[0].email1.value == document.forms[0].email2.value)
{
document.forms[0].submit();
}
else
{
alert("E-mail addresses don't agree.");
}
}
</script>
However, this will only work if the page makes *no* use of the form field
validation built into FrontPage.
Basically, a form can only have one "onsubmit" event handler. That can be
the FrontPage event handler or a custom event handler (as described above)
but not both.
