Hi,
I have a form for user registration. In that form there are fields for
password & confirm_password. Now in my database there is column
corresponding to password field. Now at clicnt side I want to validate
equality of password & confirm_password field. How to do that?
I have downloaded one password validator plugin & tried to used it. But
it requirs two seperate fields in database for password & confirm
passowrd. & I don’t want field for confirm_password in database. How to
do that?
can we use Some client side validations here? If yes …how? please tell
me.
Thanx in advance.

You might want to look up validates_confirmation_of
ie.
db users table id, login, password
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_confirmation_of :password
end
Your controller could be something like:
class UserController < ApplicationController
def signup
@user = User.new(params[:user])
if @user.save
render_partial ‘signup_success’
else
render_partial ‘signup’, @user
end
end
and in your view
<%= form_remote_tag :update => 'signup_form_area',
:url => { :controller => 'user_controller', :action=> 'signup'
}%>
<% if [email protected]? %>
<%= error_message_on 'user', 'login', 'User ' %>
<% end %>
<label for="user_login">username:</label><br/>
<%= text_field "user", "login", :size => 30 %><br/>
<% if [email protected]? %>
<%= error_message_on 'user', 'password', 'Password ' %>
<% end %>
<label for="user_password">password:</label><br/>
<%= password_field "user", "password", :size => 30 %><br/>
<label for="user_password_confirmation">confirm
password:
<%= password_field “user”, “password_confirmation”, :size => 30
%>
<%= end_form_tag %>
NOTE: this implementation uses Ajax, but you could easily do w/o.
