How to compare catalog reference variables

[chrish5]

I'm trying to compare two reference variables on a catalog item and if the second one matches the first one, alert the user of the duplication and clear the contents of the second variable.   First reference variable is new_site_owner and the second reference variable is new_site_owner2   Below is the catalog client script I am using woth Type: OnChange and Variable Name: new_site_owner2.       Is this the correct way to compare two reference variables?       Thanks

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

  if (!isLoading || newValue == '') {

        return;

  }

  if(newValue == g_form.getValue('new_site_owner')) {

          alert("Owners cannot be the same");

          g_form.setValue('new_site_owner', '');

    }

    }

Hi Chris Hetrick

Can you try with the below script

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

   if (!isLoading || newValue == '') {

         return;

   }

   if(g_form.getDisplayBox('new_site_owner2').value== g_form.getDisplayBox('new_site_owner').value) {

           alert("Owners cannot be the same");

           g_form.setValue('new_site_owner', '');

     }

     }

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Pradeep,

Thanks for your reply.   I tried the script you provided, but it did not work.   If I set the reference variables new_site_owner and new_site_owner2 to the same value, nothing happens.  

I've tried the below script, but this throws up the alert for any vaules I put in the two variables.  

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

              if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

        return;

  }

  if (g_form.getValue('new_site_owner2').toString == g_form.getValue('new_site_owner').toString) {

alert("The primary site owner and the secondary site owner cannot be the same person");

g_form.setValue('new_site_owner2', '');

    }

    }

Viswanath,

Adding the () to the end of the toString resolved my problem.   Thank you for your assistance.
