Forms: Validating email addresses and comparing fields

[Ben E. Brady]

I have a web form at
http://www.clariondeveloper.com/wepgen/index.htm where I
have users submit information in order to obtain the
download link to my free Wi-Fi WEP Key Generator utility.
The problem is that I want to verify they put in:

a) a properly formatted email address
and
b) verify the email address by having them enter it twice
and compare the entries to ensure they are the same.

I have tried using the form field validation for the email
verification field to compare the value in the email entry
field. The problem is the form validation seems to want a
constant value instead of the value content of another
field. i.e., if you enter a field name in the value field
on the validation form, it never validates if the fields
are identical.

I see this sort of thing done in web forms all of the
time. Can you do it in Front Page, out of the box, without
having to resort to third party add-ins? This should be
standard functionality in the product as it is something
that has become de facto practice on web sites.

Thanks for any assistance.

You can not do this with FP Form field validation, you will need to use a 3rd Party JavaScript.
