It sounds like you're using FrontPage to create your validation script, by
setting properties of form fields, right? If so, FrontPage uses a special
WebBot to create the JavaScript that does the validation. As it is WebBot
code, you can't modify it without first removing the WebBot tags in the
code. After that, you won't be able to use the FrontPage tools to perform
validation any more, and you will be on your own.
To validate one textbox to match the value of another, you will not be able
to use any FrontPage validation. This is outside the typical validation
types and is not supported by FrontPage. You will have to modify your form
validation script by hand to check the value of one text box against
another.
