I took the code by Alex and did a bit of hacking on it so that I could "enable" the confirmation in the backend. <pre><code>jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery("input.button").click( function(){ if(jQuery(".email input").val() != jQuery(".confirm-email input").val()) { jQuery(".confirm-email").addClass("gfield_error"); jQuery(".confirm-email .validation_message").remove(); jQuery(".confirm-email .ginput_container").append("<div class='gfield_description validation_message'>Your emails do not match.</div>"); return false; } } ); });</code></pre> So now all you need to do is create an email field and give it a class name of "email" in the advanced tab and then create a single line text field (people do not need to be told twice that they have not entered a valid email) and give it the class name "confirm-email". What you guys think? Only down side is that the validation run before the rest of the form validation but at least it is there. rzn8media on "Check if two email fields are equal" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/check-if-two-email-fields-are-equal#post-5883 Sun, 30 May 2010 05:52:04 +0000 rzn8media 5883@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ You could use the jQuery Form Plugin to utterly hi-Jack the form on submit, use the ajaxSubmit or ajaxForm options and the validate plugin to do all the custom validation, and then you could use the "return false" to prevent GravityForms from handling it at all. I don't know if you have used the jquery forms plugin much Alex.. Has anyone tried this before?

I am glad it worked for you.

Thanks. I used Justin Tadlock's Javascript Logic plugin to load jquery for the page where the form is embedded.

A little bit more complex, but not too bad. Just make sure you include the jQuery library on that page. Let me know how it goes. <pre><code>jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery("input.button").click( function(){ if(jQuery("#input_1_4").val() != jQuery("#input_1_19").val()) { jQuery("#field_1_19").addClass("gfield_error"); jQuery("#field_1_19 .validation_message").remove(); jQuery("#field_1_19 .ginput_container").append("<div class='gfield_description validation_message'>Your emails do not match.</div>"); return false; } } ); });</code></pre> Jan Egbert on "Check if two email fields are equal" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/check-if-two-email-fields-are-equal#post-3067 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 08:19:51 +0000 Jan Egbert 3067@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I tried this method: <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/Methods/equalTo" rel="nofollow">http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/Methods/equalTo</a> <pre><code>$("#gform_1").validate({ rules: { input_4: "required", input_19: { equalTo: "#input_1_4" } } });</code></pre> Added some CSS, but so far I haven't been able to get it to work. Although it looks pretty straight forward.
