How to check whether the content of the field contains part of the second field?

Question

I have a code that checks if both fields have the same value:

$ampD.blur(function() { setInterval(update, 1000); function update() { if ($('input#autocompletegoogle').attr('value') == $('input#field-address').attr('value')) { $ampD.attr('style', ''); } else { $ampD.attr('style', 'border: 1px solid #f00!important;background: #ffefef !important'); }

But sometimes $('input#autocompletegoogle') contains additionals marks example:

"5611JM Eindhoven, Netherlands"

but input#field-address contains "Eindhoven, Netherlands" and I get false.

How can I check in whether $('input#autocompletegoogle') contains value from $('input#field-address')?

I tried to find the solution almost one hour... I could find right information. Somone could help me?

Can you provide a working example with the data you're trying to process? — Rob Kwasowski

Simply modify your if condition to use something like includes() instead of ==.

var fieldAddress = $('input#field-address').val().toLowerCase(); var autoCompleteGoogle = $('input#autocompletegoogle').val().toLowerCase(); if (autoCompleteGoogle.includes(fieldAddress)) { //Auto Complete Google contains Field Address }

If you'd prefer it remain case-sensitive, you can remove the toLowerCase() from each.
