quick help w/validation script

[IACI0001]

trying to install a good script onto a form page, but the errors don't pop up. I've tried many changes, but something is still wrong.

Also, the form is tied to a cgi script, not sure if that matters. I can send the form, and receive the confirmation from my website, but when I try entering the validation script, it doesn't work.

I'm thinking somewhere in the "onsubmit" area that I blew it.

I bet it's a 2 minute fix for the experts!!

I've attached the file that's giving me the grief.

Dave, I did, and no errors occur. The script works perfect on a different form, but when applying it to this form, nothing.

Was hoping there was a glaring error, something that could be seen quickly.....

thanks.

there lies my challenge....I can't get to my web folders from where I am (ports are blocked). I'll attach the file below......If you open it, save it as an html file, hit the submit button, then you'll see what happens.

You should get a confirmation back from my site (which is good, but all I'm trying to do is add in some quick validation....

I tried entering the code from the original form, which is in the instructions, but it knocks out the cgi functionality, where I try putting it.

<name=form onSubmit="return checkFields();">

Dave, this was the original code that I was supposed to load (according to the install instructions):

<form name=form onSubmit="return checkFields();">

when used on the demo form, a thing of beauty....when in my form, disaster.

Dont' know what the form should be called in this instance.

thanks for the help so far.

Dave - that's why you make the big bucks! I finally made progress at about 3 am, and you'r right. There was a problem with the "onsubmit" command, as it was on a separate line than the cgi command.

Also, renaming some of the form items helped.

All I was trying to create was a nice simple form that had some basic validation, sent back the info that was submitted nicely formatted (simple cgi script), and posted to an e-mail address in a way that I could read it .....finally got there!
