cfform password validation

[Drayp]

I'm trying to get a standard password / repeat passord validation to work in a
Flash form. I assume I need to use javascript validation but do I use it with
the onValidate function of the fields in question or do I use the onSubmit of
the form? I'm finding it confusing as I need to use the format
handleValidation(form_object, input_object, object_value) for each field (I
think) so how do I compare the two fields? Hope that makes sense

method="post" name="passwordchange" height="300" width="400" skin="haloblue"
format="flash" preloader="yes" onSubmit="if( newpassword.text !=
newpassword2.text ){ alert('passwords don\'t match'); return false; }">

<cfinput type="text" name="currentpassword" size="12"
message="Please enter current password!" label="Current Password"
required="yes" />

<cfinput type="text" name="newpassword" size="12"
message="Please
enter new password!" label="New Password" required="yes" />

<cfinput type="text" name="newpassword2" size="12"
message="Please
enter new password again!" label="New Password Again" required="yes" />

<cfinput type="submit" name="changepassword" value="Change My
