Entering your email twice on sign-up forms

Question

I have a sign-up form for membership for a client, and they
want it so the user enters their email address twice (in case they
make a typo). This is such a common functionality, is there any
on-page validation in CF or simple technique for this that doesn't
involve me manually handling this in my error-checking on the
submit page? Any help would be appreciated.

That just involves comparing two strings and verifying they are the same.

What is wrong with validating this on your submit page? A line or two of javascript could compare the two values on the client side. But you should not depend on javascript alone. It can be disabled.
