form validations in rails 3

I have form which has 2 sets of fields like Field X and Confirm Field X. Only Field X is part of the model. How can I validate that both x and confirm_x are the same? Can I do this in rails or I have to use javascript?

You can use validates_confirmation_of in your model. From the API:

Model:
  class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
    validates_confirmation_of :user_name, :password
    validates_confirmation_of :email_address,
                              :message => "should match confirmation"
  end

View:
  <%= password_field "person", "password" %>
  <%= password_field "person", "password_confirmation" %>
