Match two fields with jQuery validate plugin

Question

I have an e-mail field, and a confirm e-mail field. I need to validate both of them to make sure their values match.

Is there a way to add a rule to match those two fields?

Answer 1

You could use the equalTo method:

$('#myform').validate({     rules: {         email: 'required',         emailConfirm: {             equalTo: '#email'         }     } }); 

Answer 2

You can also do this on the second field:

 class="required email" equalTo='#email'
