javascript - jQuery validation of two fields len(). -

guys using jquery validation plugin validate input text fields...

like this:

$("#formsettings").validate({          rules: {             sta: {                 required: true,              },             crs: {             equalto: "#password"         }     },     messages: {             email: {                 required: "please provide email address",                 email: "provide valid email address"             },     }); 

the issue: need match 1 textfield value other, each textfield have comma separated values , should match before continuing, idea how can

like if textfield 1 is: 1,2,3,4,5,6 textfield2 should match.

$('#selector').val().length  

above basic jquery version of .length after if statement. here brief untested test try:

<input type="text" value="1,2,3,4,5" id="thing1"> <input type="text" value="1,2,3,4" id="thing2"> <input type="button" name="submit" value="submit" id="submit">   $('#submit').click(function(event){      var thing1 = $('#thing1').val().length;     var thing2 = $('#thing2').val().length;      if (thing1 == thing2) {         return true;     } else {         alert("contents must have same length");         return false;     }  });
