Jquery check two inputs for same value

Question

I've been trying to write Jquery code to check if two inputs have the same value on form submit without luck.

If input with id "id1" has the same value as input with id "id2" alert "some text" and return false.

Any help would be much appreciated.

$('#form').submit(function() {
    var id1 = $(#id1).text();
    var id2 = $(#id2).text();
    if (id1 == id2) {
        alert('Error, cant do that');
        return false;
    }
    else
    {
    return true;
    }

});

Answer 1

DEMO HERE

<input type="text" id="id1" />
<input type="text" id="id2" />

$('input').blur(function() {
if ($('#id1').attr('value') == $('#id2').attr('value')) {
alert('Same Value');
return false;
} else { return true; }
});

I simply used blur rather than a form submit.

It's pretty simple, just do a comparison with == and the input's values. Place this inside of the submit() of your form.

var match = $('#id1').val() == $('#id2').val();

If match is false, then you can show your alert() and event.preventDefault().
