On the website that I'm making, I have quite a lot of inputs that I ofcourse want to check when people are typing something in. But making a function for every single page is kind of annoying and I thought that there might be a better solution to this.

 

For example when registering an account it would check the 2 input types password and see if they're equal to eachother, if not it will change the class of the inputbox so it gets a red outline. And also for other stuff like email adresses.

 

So is it possible to do something like this in Javascript?

I'd suggest using a framework which will make it much easier for you to validate inputs. Alternatively, make your own validation class(es) in PHP.

 

Not recommended to use Javascript for any serious validation - people can turn JS off, and you'll have a serious problem.

I already have that but I want to make it visible to the user when they're typing it in too, I just think it's a nice addition to the website and it'll make it easier for the user.

How about a jquery plugin? This will help when things are "requred" or making sure email addresses are correct or when needing to compare two fields.

 

Goodluck,
