Having problems with confirm password jquery code

I've found some similar questions. However I'm still having trouble fixing this. I am having troubles with my confirm password validation. If I write something in the password input and then write the same password in my cpassword input, it validates the cpassword. However if I delete a letter from my password, the cpassword still thinks it got it right.

This is my cpassword-check.js

// Validate confirm password while typing
$(document).ready(function() {    
    $('#cpassword').click(function(){  
        var cpassword = $('#cpassword').val(); 
        if (cpassword.length > 0) {  
            $("#resultcpass").html('<i class="fa fa-circle-o-notch fa-spin loading-icon"></i>');
            $.ajax({
                type : 'POST',
                url  : 'cpassword-check.php',
                data : {
                    cpassword: $('#cpassword').val(), 
                    password: $('#password').val()
                }, 
                success : function(data) {
                    $("#resultcpass").html(data);
                }
            });
            return false;

        } else {
            $("#resultcpass").html('');
        }
    });
});

And this is where it validates it (cpassword-check.php):

/*$host="localhost";
$user="root";
$pass="";
$dbname="lr";

$dbcon = new PDO("mysql:host={$host};dbname={$dbname}",$user,$pass);*/

if($_POST['cpassword']) {
    $cpassword = strip_tags($_POST['cpassword']);
    $password = strip_tags($_POST['password']);

    if ( $cpassword != $password) {
        echo "<i class='fa fa-circle user-validation-w pull-right' aria-hidden='true'></i><span class='availability pull-right'> Deben coincidir</span>";
    } else  {
        echo "<i class='fa fa-check user-validation-ok pull-right' aria-hidden='true'></i><span class='availability pull-right'></span>";
    }
}

Would you please help me to execute that function every second or maybe do something else to validate the cpassword even if the password changes?

Thank you!

Simply use Jquery for it.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#register").on('click', function() {
    password = $.trim($("#password").val());
    repassword = $.trim($("#repassword").val());
    var msg = "";
    if (password != repassword) {
      msg += " <p>Password did not match</p>";
    }
    if (msg == "") {
      $("#register_form").submit();
    } else {
      $("#msg").html(msg); // show error message
    }
  });
});

You have applied validation only on click event of cpassword field, however the same should be applied to both as

// Validate confirm password while typing

$(document).ready(function()
{    
 $('#cpassword').click(function(){
  validatePass();
});

 $('#password').click(function(){
  validatePass();
});

function validate(){
   var cpassword = $('#cpassword').val(); 

    if (cpassword.length > 0)
  {  
    $("#resultcpass").html('<i class="fa fa-circle-o-notch fa-spin loading-icon"></i>');


          /*$.post("email-check.php", $("#reg-form").serialize())
           .done(function(data){
            $("#resultmail").html(data);
           });*/

 $.ajax({

type : 'POST',
url  : 'cpassword-check.php',
data : {

    cpassword: $('#cpassword').val(), 
    password: $('#password').val()

    }, 

success : function(data)
    {
          $("#resultcpass").html(data);
       }
});
return false;

  }
  else
  {
  $("#resultcpass").html('');
  }

 });
}
