I'm running a simple shop that doesn't require the customer to create an account (and we don't really want him to do so - the purchases are small.

we have an issue with typos in e-mail addresses ... people spell their name wrong, put .com instead of .co.uk etc ... normally finger/brain problem with the user.  The result, of course being that order acknowledgement and payment messages bounce ... and the e-mail address that gets used in some event management software doesn't work.

Is there any way to have an "enter e-mail" field and then a second "enter e-mail" field that then validates the two as being the same?

Thanks

Has there been any news on this. I was thinking about just adding another email field to the form and just make it a check where they put in a second time and it will tell them if they typed it twice right. Most wont mess up 2 times. However a module that validates would be 100% better.

That was my lateral thinking approach - but it's a bit amateur!
