Verify E-Mail Address

Email
Type again

Collecting e-mail addresses in a form are important as they are generally the only method of contacting the user. This script will verify an e-mail address is entered correctly by requiring the user to re-enter the address, checking to make sure there is no typographical error. This script can also be used for passwords or other information that must be verified before being submitted.

We have tested the code in IE 8.0, Firefox3.5.2, Opera 9.64, Netscape 9.0.0.6, Flock2.51 and Safari Public Beta 4(528.16). This script worked well in all platforms with no variations observed.

For your Information: Before we begin, we feel obligated to advise you that the above form is for all intensive purposes a "Stand Alone" script. In other words, it really does not do much of anything other than what you see. In order to make it function as designed, you need to incorporate it into a valid working form. If you do not have a good Solid Knowledge of HTML coding, javascripts, forms and reconfigurations, please "Do Not Attempt" this until you are Proficient in the aforementioned areas.

Depending on your knowledge of HTML and javascripts, this is an easy three (3) part copy and paste code that goes in both the <HEAD> and <BODY> sections of your document. It also makes use of an external.js file (verifyAddress.js) script you need to save and upload into your directory.

Step One: You need to save the external.js file (verifyAddress.js) and upload it into your directory.

Step Two: You need to add a sniplet of code into the <HEAD> section of your document to call the external file (verifyAddress.js) you uploaded into your directory.

Snipplet Of Code

<script type="text/javascript" src="verifyAddress.js">
</script>

Note Of Importance: If you are not sure of howto make the external .js file and make use of it within your document, grab the below link and it is fully explained.

For your Information: If you are not comfortable or prefer not to use the external.js file, you can use the traditional cut/copy and paste instead of the external .js file. If you need a little refresher on what is required to achieve this, grab the below link and it is fully explained.
[ Traditional Cut/Copy and Paste ]

Depending on which of the above methods you have selected (external.js file or Traditional Copy/Cut & Paste), you will add either the snipplet of code (after you have uploaded the external.js file) into the <HEAD> section or the completed section of code that you added the opening and closing script tags.

Snipplet Of Code
<script type="text/javascript" src="verifyAddress.js">
</script> Traditional Copy/Cut and Paste
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<HEAD> Section of code goes here

// End -->
</script>

External .js file

Traditional Copy/Cut & Paste Code with opening & closing tags that you had to add into the <HEAD> section of code that was originally earmarked to be an external .js file.

Step Three: Once you have completed either of the above steps for the <HEAD> section, all that is left is to incorporate the <BODY> section of code into a fully functional form.
