RE : validate 2 password fields

Sorry, my typo, the else line should have read (note the missing brace)

                return true;
        } else {
        alert("Passwords did not match");

Please note you need to turn on error reporting for scripts in IE or your 
chosen browser - doing so would have told you the line which had the syntax 
error. Developing websites with error reporting turned off is a terribly 
bad idea ;-)

Cheers - Neil
