this is just testing code but it is somehow messed up.
every time when i click on the submit button i get not equal!
I also need to add when i set up strPassword manualy instead of ArrayToList, for example
<cfset strPassword=test413> and then insert in form test413 and compare it everything is fine. You can copy/paste this code to test it. Any ideas please?
