javascript conflict

[fran7]

hi, I have two javascript form validation scripts.

Although the forms have different names, one of the scripts overrides the other and validates both. They have the same onsubmit, and one has a unique name (contact) and I cannot see why it is affecting the others search form which doesnt have a name.

onsubmit="return validate_form(this)"

the search validation is

function validate_required(field,alerttxt)
{
with (field)
{
if (value==null||value=="")
  {alert(alerttxt);return false}
else {return true}
}
}function validate_form(thisform)
{
with (thisform)
{
if (validate_required(SearchWord,"Please enter a value for the \"search word\" field!")==false)
  {SearchWord.focus();return false}
}
}

and the form validation is

<script type="text/javascript">
 
<!--
 
function validate_form ( )
{
    valid = true;
 
        if ( document.contact.ToName.value == "" )
        {
                alert ( "Please fill in the 'Recipients Name." );
                valid = false;
        }
  if ( document.contact.ToEmail.value == "" )
        {
                alert ( "Please fill in the 'Recipients Email' box." );
                valid = false;
        }
  if ( document.contact.FromName.value == "" )
        {
                alert ( "Please fill in the 'Your Full Name' box." );
                valid = false;
        }
  if ( document.contact.FromEmail.value == "" )
        {
                alert ( "Please fill in the 'Your Email' box." );
                valid = false;
        }
 
 
 
 
 
        return valid;
}
 
//-->
 
</script>

They are the only two that seem to work back to IE5 that I can find.

How do I make them with unique so one does not override the other. At the moment the search validation comes up with enter the correct email,name,etc. It should just say enter a search term.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Hi, I sorted it out. I just changed the function. They were identical on both scripts.
Thanks
