Devin, unless I’m missing something in the text I believe there is an error in the bottom shaded box in the validation function where you drop in the alert. I see:

if(document.simple_form.firstName….

rather than

if(document.simpleForm.firstName…

I couldn’t figure out why the snippet I copied from there wasn’t working properly but I believe that’s it.

Hi,
I need a lot of hand-holding and this whole forms validation thing is making me nuts. I really appreciate your approach to instructing, it looks like what I need and I will be bookmarking your site.

However,(isn’t there always one?) The simple form validation example is not working. I leave all fields empty and it apparently submits anyway.

I have copied and pasted in order to avoid mistakes. The only change made was to direct form action to my starfire engraving site.

In the script, the phrase ‘return false;’ is italic and a different color. In my limited experience, that usually means something’s not right…but I can’t see it. (Again, cut and pasted from the instructions).

Help?
