Is there anyway to make a confirm email box and make a validation for it?

On some sites you have two places to put in your email address. The Confirm email address field compares itself to the other Email field to make sure you typed in the correct one just incase you missed a letter.

You can edit the file login_register via the Display->Views menu and add the code

<tr>
	<td class="key">
		<label id="confirm_emailmsg" for="confirm_register_email">Confirm E-mail:</label>
	</td>
	<td>
		<input type="text" id="confirm_register_email" name="data[confirm][email]" value="" class="inputbox required validate-email" maxlength="100" onchange="email = document.getElementById('register_email'); if(this.value!=email.value){ alert('The confirmation email is different from the email'); this.value= ''; }" /> *
	</td>
</tr>

below the email field.

Thanks for this. My client will be very happy.

We are using the simple registration where the email is singular on top of the full registration. Which file would I edit for that?
