How to write a program that will make sure that the passwords entered in both fields match?

I want the text "password set" to display if passwords in both fields match? What am i doing wrong? also what are the rules regarding having brackets within script? can i have two functions within the same script tag?
<p>First name: <input type="text" id="fname" /></p>
<p>Surname: <input type="text" id="sname" /></p>
<p>Date of birth: <input type="text" id="dob" /> (Please enter as dd/mm/yyyy)</p>
<button onclick="user()">Generate Username</button>
<p id="username"></p>
<p id="match"></p>
<p>Please enter a password for your account.</p>
<p>Enter password: <input type="text" id="password1" /></p>
<p>Re-enter password: <input type="text" id="password2"/></p>
<button onclick="password()">Submit Password</button>
<script>
function user() {
document.getElementById("username").innerHTML = document.getElementById("fname").value+document.getElementById("sname").value+document.getElementById("dob").value.slice(-4)
}
function password() {
if document.getElementById("password1").value = document.getElementById("password2").value
document.getElementById("match").innerHTML = " Your password has been set "
}
</script>

I hope this helps :)
function password(){
var pass1 = document.getElementById("password1").value;
var pass2 = document.getElementById("password2").value;
if(pass1 == pass2){
alert("password match");
}else{
alert("password do not match");
}
}
<p>Enter password: <input type="password" id="password1" /></p>
<p>Re-enter password: <input type="password" id="password2"/></p>
<button onclick="password()">Submit Password</button>

How to disable submit button until the password fields are matching in Javascript?

I have this javascript below:
<script type="text/javascript">
function PassCheck() {
var password = document.getElementById('password');
var vpassword = document.getElementById('vpassword');
if(password.value!= vpassword.value){
document.getElementById("button1").disabled = true;
}
}
</script>
HTML code:
Password: <input type="password" name="password" id="password" required onchange='PassCheck();'/> <br>
Verify Password: <input type="password" name="vpassword" required id="vpassword" onchange='PassCheck();'/> <br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" id="button1" name="submit" onchange='PassCheck();'/>
The submit button is disabled only the first time and the disbale button doesn't work after second attempt. I am not sure why its not working. Please help! Thanks in advance.

You simply need to add an else condition that re-enables your button once the values match:
function PassCheck() {
var password = document.getElementById('password');
var vpassword = document.getElementById('vpassword');
if (password.value != vpassword.value) {
document.getElementById("button1").disabled = true;
}
else {
document.getElementById("button1").disabled = false;
}
}
Password: <input type="password" name="password" id="password" required onchange='PassCheck();' /> <br>
Verify Password: <input type="password" name="vpassword" required id="vpassword" onchange='PassCheck();' /> <br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" id="button1" name="submit" onchange='PassCheck();' />

onchange occurs only when the element loses focus, so try to use onkeyup or oninput events. Also don't forget to set disabled to false.
function PassCheck() {
var password = document.getElementById('password');
var vpassword = document.getElementById('vpassword');
document.getElementById("button1").disabled = password.value.length === 0 ||
password.value != vpassword.value;
}
PassCheck();
Password: <input type="password" name="password" id="password" required onkeyup='PassCheck();'/> <br>
Verify Password: <input type="password" name="vpassword" required id="vpassword" onkeyup='PassCheck();'/> <br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" id="button1" name="submit"/>

Adding a node to html page with javascript

This is my first time with javascript. I'm making a basic login page where there is a control for the email input. I would like to put an error message of some kind when someone gives an email address with illegal symbol. Here my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Home</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<div>
<form action="Home.html" method="post">
<label for="id">Username</label>
<input type="text" name="id" id="id" value="" />
<br/>
<label for="pass">Password</label>
<input type="password" name="pass" id="pass" value="" />
<br/>
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" value="" />
<br/>
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkEmail ()
{
var emailObject = document.getElementById("email");
var email = emailObject.getAttribute("value").toString();
var error = document.createTextNode("Uncorrect email");
var result = email.search("/[^(a-z | A-Z | 0-9 | #)]/");
if(result !== -1)
{
emailObject.appendChild(error);
}
}
</script>
<button type="button" onclick="checkEmail()"> Confirm </button>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

I have a function I use to validate email addresses, it uses regex. I would suggest jQuery just to show/hide the error message.
function validEmail(val){
if(val.length < 6 || val.length > 255) return false;
return new RegExp(/^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+#[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$/).test(val);
}
$(function(){
$("#email").on("change", function(){
var email = $("#email").val();
if(!validEmail(email)){
$("#emailError").show();
} else {
$("#emailError").hide();
}
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<!-- Some Inputs here -->
<span id='emailError' style='display: none;'>Please enter a valid email address</span><br>
<input type='email' id='email' name='email' placeholder='Email Address' />
<!-- More Inputs here -->
<button type='submit'>Submit</button>
</form>

you're trying to append something to an input element (email input, in this case). I'd suggest to append it to your main div, which in this case I have identified as "YOUR_ID".
Also, I suggest you a more efficint way to check a valid email.
follow the below example
<body>
<div id="YOUR_ID">
<form action="Home.html" method="post">
<label for="id">Username</label>
<input type="text" name="id" id="id" value="" />
<br/>
<label for="pass">Password</label>
<input type="password" name="pass" id="pass" value="" />
<br/>
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" value="" />
<br/>
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkEmail ()
{
var emailObject = document.getElementById("email");
var divObject = document.getElementById("YOUR_ID");
var email = emailObject.getAttribute("value").toString();
var error = document.createTextNode("Uncorrect email");
var check = /^([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*)#((?:[\w-]+\.)*\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$/i;
var result = check.test(email);
if(result !== -1)
{
divObject.appendChild(error);
}
}
</script>
<button type="button" onclick="checkEmail()"> Confirm </button>
</form>
</div>
</body>

Why my text is printed on page and soon disappears in js

this is my code
i was trying to make a signup form and i made a script
i jst tried that the username should contain both alphabets and numbers and nothing else
if this condition is true than it continues
else it will give an error message displayed jst below it
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<style>
#sign_up_details {
padding: 10px;
}
</style>
<form name="sign_up_details">
<h3>Enter your details below</h3>
<input type="textbox" id="username" placeholder="Enter your desired username" />
<p id="usrnm_check"></p><br>
<input type="password" id="password" placeholder="Enter your desired password" />
<p id="pass_check"></p><br>
<input type="textbox" id="email" placeholder="Enter your email id" />
<p id="email_check"></p><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" onclick="store()" />
</form>
<script>
var usrnm = document.getElementById("username");
var pass = document.getElementById("password");
var email = document.getElementById("email");
var usrnm_check = document.getElementById("usrnm_check");
var pass_check = document.getElementById("pass_check");
var email_check = document.getElementById("email_check");
function store() {
var newReg = /^[A-Z]+[a-z]+[0-9]+$/
if (usrnm.value.match(newReg)) {
//next action here
} else {
usrnm_check.innerHTML = "Username should have alphabets and numbers";
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
for eg when i keep the username field empty and click on submit the error which is to be displayed comes below it but it soon disappears.
i dont know the reason for it.

you will have to set the store in onsubmit event and not on the submit button onclick event because,onclick will execute the function and submit the form as well.
here is fiddle
execute function before submit
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<style>
#sign_up_details {
padding: 10px;
}
</style>
<form name="sign_up_details" onsubmit="return store()">
<h3>Enter your details below</h3>
<input type="textbox" id="username" placeholder="Enter your desired username" />
<p id="usrnm_check"></p><br>
<input type="password" id="password" placeholder="Enter your desired password" />
<p id="pass_check"></p><br>
<input type="textbox" id="email" placeholder="Enter your email id" />
<p id="email_check"></p><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<script>
var usrnm = document.getElementById("username");
var pass = document.getElementById("password");
var email = document.getElementById("email");
var usrnm_check = document.getElementById("usrnm_check");
var pass_check = document.getElementById("pass_check");
var email_check = document.getElementById("email_check");
function store() {
var newReg = /^[A-Z]+[a-z]+[0-9]+$/
if (usrnm.value.match(newReg)) {
//next action here
return true;
} else {
usrnm_check.innerHTML = "Username should have alphabets and numbers";
return false;
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

You can try something like this:
<form action="/dosomething.htm" method="GET" onsubmit="return store(this)">
[...]
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function store() {
var newReg = /^[A-Z]+[a-z]+[0-9]+$/
if (usrnm.value.match(newReg)) {
//next action here
return true;
} else {
usrnm_check.innerHTML = "Username should have alphabets and numbers";
return false;
}
}
</script>
Notice return true and return false statements in store() and in form onSubmit. If the store() will return false the form will not get submitted. At present your message goes away after display because your form gets submitted even if the validation fails.
Hope this helps!!

Why validation for password field validation not working?

I'm new to the web programming can you please tell me what's wrong with following code?
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Form Validation</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function validate (form) {
// valriable declaration
var returnValue = true;
var username = form.txtUserName.value;
var password1 = form.txtPassword.value;
var password2 = form.txtPassword2.value;
// check for UserName length
if (username.length < 6) {
returnValue = false;
alert("Your username must be at least\n6 characters long.\nPlease try again.");
frmRegister.txtUserName.focus();
};
// check for password length
if (password1.length < 6) {
returnValue = false;
alert("Your password must be at least\n6 characters long.\nPlease try again.");
frmRegister.txtPassword.value = "";
frmRegister.txtPassword2.value = "";
frmRegister.txtPassword.focus();
};
// check for match of password field
if (password1.value != password2.value) {
returnValue = false;
alert("Your password entries did not match.\nPlease try again.");
frmRegister.txtPassword.value = "";
frmRegister.txtPassword2.value = "";
frmRegister.txtPassword.focus();
};
return returnValue;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" name="frmRegister" action="register.html" onsubmit="return validate(this);">
<div><label for="txtUsername">UserName : </label>
<input type="text" name="txtUserName" id="txtUserName" size="12" />
</div>
<div><label for="txtPassword">Password : </label>
<input type="text" name="txtPassword" id="txtPassword" size="12" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="txtPassword2">Confirm your password : </label>
<input type="text" name="txtPassword2" id="txtPassword2" size="12" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" value="Log in" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

first of all stop using return from event handler.
convert your code to
<form ... onsubmit="validate(event,this)">
change your function to validate(event,form);
wherever you feel form should not be submitted..
write :
event.preventDefault()
instead of return false
