Hello,

When you try to run the web site, are there any JavaScript errors on the page? If so, what are they?

Have you tried stepping through the JavaScript using a debugger?

Gary

Code:

Hello,

Ok, so you have this:

Code:

---

onsubmit="return validate(this)

---

The first thing to check is whether this function is being called. In order to do that, make this change:

Code:

---

function validate()
 {
alert('I am in the validate function');
  hasFocus = false;
 var form = document.forms['form'];
 var ary=[checkName,checkEmail,validatePwd,validPhone];
 var rtn=true;
 var z0=0;
 for (var z0=0;z0<ary.length;z0++)
{
  if (!ary[z0](form))
  {
    rtn=false;
  }
 }
 return rtn;
}

---

And try running your code. Do you get a popup box?
