how to check confirm password field in form without reloading page
I have a project in which I have to add a registration form and I want to to validate that the password and confirm fields are equal without clicking the register button.
If password and confirm password field will not match, then I also want to put an error message at side of confirm password field and disable registration button.
following is my html code..
<form id="form" name="form" method="post" action="registration.php">
<label >username :
<input name="username" id="username" type="text" /></label> <br>
<label >password :
<input name="password" id="password" type="password" /></label>
<label>confirm password:
<input type="password" name="confirm_password" id="confirm_password" />
</label>
<label>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="registration" />
</label>
Is there any way to do this? Thanks in advance for any help.
Solution 1:
We will be looking at two approaches to achieve this. With and without using jQuery.
1. Using jQuery
You need to add a keyup function to both of your password and confirm password fields. The reason being that the text equality should be checked even if the password
field changes. Thanks @kdjernigan for pointing that out
In this way, when you type in the field you will know if the password is same or not:
$('#password, #confirm_password').on('keyup', function () {
if ($('#password').val() == $('#confirm_password').val()) {
$('#message').html('Matching').css('color', 'green');
} else
$('#message').html('Not Matching').css('color', 'red');
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<label>password :
<input name="password" id="password" type="password" />
</label>
<br>
<label>confirm password:
<input type="password" name="confirm_password" id="confirm_password" />
<span id='message'></span>
</label>
and here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/aelor/F6sEv/325/
2. Without using jQuery
We will use the onkeyup event of javascript on both the fields to achieve the same effect.
var check = function() {
if (document.getElementById('password').value ==
document.getElementById('confirm_password').value) {
document.getElementById('message').style.color = 'green';
document.getElementById('message').innerHTML = 'matching';
} else {
document.getElementById('message').style.color = 'red';
document.getElementById('message').innerHTML = 'not matching';
}
}
<label>password :
<input name="password" id="password" type="password" onkeyup='check();' />
</label>
<br>
<label>confirm password:
<input type="password" name="confirm_password" id="confirm_password" onkeyup='check();' />
<span id='message'></span>
</label>
and here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/aelor/F6sEv/324/
Solution 2:
If you don't want use jQuery:
function check_pass() {
if (document.getElementById('password').value ==
document.getElementById('confirm_password').value) {
document.getElementById('submit').disabled = false;
} else {
document.getElementById('submit').disabled = true;
}
}
<input type="password" name="password" id="password" onchange='check_pass();'/>
<input type="password" name="confirm_password" id="confirm_password" onchange='check_pass();'/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="registration" id="submit" disabled/>
