  I was contacted yesterday by a person who misspelled his Email-adress in my contact form, and now I cannot respond to him ):
  Its not the first time either :)

  Is there a way to secure that this wont happen by making the contact form better?
  -Maybe 2 separate fields with “enter mail adress again”, and with no support for copy/paste?

  Since I`ve looked through the standard posibilities of editing my contact form with no luck I suppose this is a CSS issue.(?)
  Could anyone send me in the right direction og maybe please provide me with the code, since I`m terrible at CSS?

  This is how my form looks right now:

  CSS is a document used by browsers to style and position the elements of a web page. It cannot be used to add functionality, like an email address check.

  No worries. I wish there was something we could do for you, but we just don’t have that capability in the contact form here at WordPress.com.

  Also, I copy/paste into double email fields all the time, so if the first has an error, the second will also if the person copy/pastes from that first field.

  Yes I know – thats why I wanted the no-support for copy/paste-fields, which I`ve seen several places :)

  Well, since this post was misplaced, I put it in the support-forums. Maybe someone have an ide of how to make the form better there :)

  Thank you anyway :)
