Do you spell 'email' correctly?
There is one correct way to spell 'email' and many incorrect ones. The common incorrect ones are:
Lower Case with dash (or hyphen):
<p>Your e-mail address must match your confirm e-mail address</p>
Bad example: Using 'e-mail' in your text
<p>Your email address must match your confirm email address</p>
Good example: Using 'email' instead
Upper Case with capital M:
<input
class="form-control"
data-val="true"
data-val-required="The EMail field is required."
id="EMail"
name="EMail"
placeholder="EMail"
type="email"
value=""
data-cip-id="EMail"
autocomplete="off"
/>Bad example : 'EMail' used as a placeholder and in the validation message
<input
class="form-control"
data-val="true"
data-val-required="The Email field is required."
id="Email"
name="Email"
placeholder="Email"
type="email"
value=""
data-cip-id="Email"
autocomplete="off"
/>Good example: Use 'Email' instead
We have a rule in SSW Code Auditor and SSW Link Auditor to check for this.
