Madam, Sir. I'm working on a register form and note that the new <input> constraints (new types and pattern attribute) isn't enough. An identical constraint will be usefull for checking if password or email are correctly written. <input type="email" name="email_main" /> <input type="email" name="email_confirm" identical="email_main" /> The identical attribute informs on the reference <input> by his name. It's limited to the same <form>. The identical constraint override the type validation with a basic test (see below) As a result, the type attribute may be ommited in this case, the type of the reference input will be used instead. if email_confirm.value == email_main.value then email_confirm.isvalid = email_main.isvalid; else email_confirm.isvalid = false; end
