    Default Help Wanted!!!

    Ok, so a change of question... Why wont it validate? I mean there isn't anything wrong with it, right?
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Exam entry</title>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function validateForm() {
    var result = true; var msg="";

    if (document.ExamEntry.name.value=="") { msg+="You must enter your name \n"; document.ExamEntry.name.focus();
    document.getElementById('name').style.color="red"; result = false;
    }


    if (document.ExamEntry.subject.value=="") { msg+="You must enter the subject \n"; document.ExamEntry.subject.focus();
    document.getElementById('subject').style.color="re d"; result = false;
    }

    if (document.ExamEntry.subject.value=="") { msg+="You must enter your examination number \n"; document.ExamEntry.subject.focus();
    document.getElementById('number').style.color="red "; result = false;
    }

    if(msg==""){ return result;
    }

    {
    alert(msg) return result;
    }
    }

    </script>
    </head>

    <body>
    <h1>Exam Entry Form</h1>
    <form name="ExamEntry" method="post" action="success.html">
    <table width="50%" border="0">
    <tr>
    <td id="name">Name</td>
    <td><input type="text" name="name" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td id="subject">Subject</td>
    <td><input type="text" name="subject" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td id="number">Examination Number</td>
    <td><input type="number" name="number" /></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
    <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" onclick="return validateForm();" /></td>
    <td><input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset" /></td>
    </tr>

    </table>
    </form>
    </body>
    </html>
    So frustrating... If anyone could help that would be great!
    OH! Also, if you could tell me how it's only accepted if there is 4 digits in the Examination Number box...? Heheh

    Moved. Not a java question.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
