Does anyone know how to set an alert window on blur, AFTER comparing two fields? On a registration form, I'm trying to make sure that the username does not match the password. If it does, I want it to come up with an Alert window. I'm must be missing something, as it shouldn't be this hard.

Here's my code:

HEAD:
<script type="text/javascript">
function PasswordAlert()
{
alert("Password can not be the same as username"
}
</script>

BODY:
<input name="Password" type="password" id="Password" onBlur="
<%
if Username = password then
PasswordAlert()
end if
%> "

It works fine if I just do a onClick="PasswordAlert()", but there's no compare happening.

Thanks!

You can't use server side code to test for a client side event.

You need to use client side code, such as javascript. Check out www.irt.org

Insert this in the head of your page and change the form name and field names to match yours.

<script language="VBScript">

Function form1_OnSubmit()

if document.form1.username.value = document.form1.password.value then

alert("Your password must be different to your chosen username"
form1_OnSubmit = false

else

form1_OnSubmit = True

end if

end Function

</script>
