how to compare two text input type box values using jquery

Question

I have a two textboxes t1 and t2 . I would like to figure out how in jquery if the values in t1 and t2 are same I can display an alert message. If user does not change the values I want to prevent the form from being submitted.

Answer 1

Try something like this

$('form').submit(function(evt) {
   if ($('#textbox1').val() === $('#textbox2').val()) {
     alert('values match');
     evt.preventDefault();
   }
}

uses the .submit() method to bind to the submit event for the form, then compares the 2 values from the textboxes - if they are the same it displays an alert then prevents the default action (form submission) using event.preventDefault()

Working example here

Answer 2

 $("form").submit(function() { var _txt1 = $('#txt1').val(); var _txt2 = $('#txt2').val(); if (_txt1 == _txt2) { alert('Matching!'); return true; } else { alert('Not matching!'); return false; } });

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <form action="#" method="post" name="form_name" id="form_id"> <input type="text" id="txt1" name="txt1" /> <input type="text" id="txt2" name="txt2"/> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form>

jQuery

$(document).ready(function() {
    var _t1 = $("#t1");
    var _t2 = $("#t2");
    $(_t2).focusout(function() {
    if(_t1.val() === _t2.val()){
        return alert('Match');
    }
    return alert('No match');
  });
});

HTML

<input id="t1">
<input id="t2">

Answer 4

Here is the code

if(!$("#t1").val() && !$("#t2").val() && $("#t1").val() === $("#t2").val()){
   alert("Both values are same");
}else{
   return false;
}

I am doing strict type check for input values by ===.

Hope this will help your requirement.
