I am sure this is a very easy problem for some of you guys. I am new to VBScript so its a little hard for me. I am trying to make a password form that verify that the password i typed in the first textbox is equal to the second text box heres the code i have...


<script language=&quot;VBScript&quot;>
Function VerifyPWD ()
If lcase(RegisterForm.Password.Value) = lcase(RegisterForm.verifypassword.value) then
else
Msgbox (&quot;Please verify that the passwords match&quot;)
exit sub
end if
End Function
</script>

And this is where I call it...

<form name=&quot;registerform&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;register.asp&quot; onSubmit=&quot;Call VerifyPWD()&quot;>

For some reason I keep getting the error &quot;Cannot use parenthesis when calling a sub&quot; any idea?

Thanks! Gordon R. Durgha

Just call the sub without the parentheses...

VBScript doesn't like them (unlike JavaScript)

Code: 
VerifyPWD

hope it helps!:)

Hiya
I understand where you're coming from, I wanted to develop something similar for my website. Hope this can help you, you basically had this anyway, you just have to decalre a seperate variable for the second input (password) box.
Try it out!! let me know if it works!
