submitting form

[Claus Mygind]

I am having some trouble submitting a form in IE. Works fine with FireFox.

I have tried two methods.

method #1

function validateForm(form)
    {
       if (document.getElementById("NAME").value == "")
       {
         alert("You left the name blank.");
         return false;
       }else{
         if (document.getElementById("EMAIL").value == "")
         {
           alert("You did not give me an email address.How can I email you!");
           return false;
       }else{
           return true();
 
       }
     }
   }
 
<FORM METHOD=POST     ACTION="myApp.exe" onSubmit="return validateForm(this)">
 
<input type="submit" value="Add My Name To Guest Book">
 
 

method #2

function validateForm(form)
    {
       if (document.getElementById("NAME").value == "")
       {
         alert("You left the name blank.");
         return false;
       }else{
         if (document.getElementById("EMAIL").value == "")
         {
           alert("You did not give me an email address.How can I email you!");
           return false;
       }else{
           form.submit();
 
       }
     }
   }
 
<FORM METHOD=POST     ACTION="myApp.exe" onSubmit="return false"
>
 
<input type="button"    id = "sendName" name = "sendName"             value="Add My Name To Guest Book" onClick="validateForm(this.form);"> 
 

On option #2 I get an error on the form. It is transmitted as null.
