Expression 1 = expression 2 validation error

Question

Hi
I have a validation on a page of type "Item in expression 1 = string litteral in expression 2".
I have 2 text boxes on the page and in expression one I have
:P10_enter_password
and in expression 2 I have
:P10_confirm_password
If i put an identical string in teh two text boxes and click the button that runs the expression i get the given error message.
"The passwords dont match"
am i doing something wrong?
thanks in advance

Hi Eric,
As for the reason given by Tauceef, you have to create a validation of type PL/SQL.
In String Comparison type there is no subtype that helps compare two items, instead it has types to compare
a given item to a string expression.
Create a validation on item: P10_CONFIRM_PASSWORD
Validation Type: PL/SQL
Validation Sub-type: Function Returning Boolean
Validation Code:
if v('P10_ENTER_PASSWORD') = v('P10_CONFIRM_PASSWORD') then
   return true;
else
   return false;
end if;Hope it helps!
