I got it working with fieldexpression, but had to use .equals() vs. == Now my next question... in order to get the confirmation field to be highlighted in red, I needed to add the same field validator for this field as well. I need the other validation errors to display for the confirm field (like "is required" and "must be valid") but I want to suppress the message for "they should match" as it should just display once. How can I do this without resorting to <s:if> ?
