Enforcing Validation based on Drop-Down choice

Hi -

I am trying to figure out a way to enforce the validation included for
this form based on whether the user chooses "email" or "phone" as the
contact choice. Right now it is set to enforce validation on both.
Is there a way to link the drop-down choice to the correspondent
validation section while disabling validation for the other one?

here's what I presently have:

<html>

<head>
<title>Contact Form</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/end.css" />
<script language="JavaScript1.2">

//Disable select-text script (IE4+, NS6+)

function disableselect(e){
return false
}

function reEnable(){
return true
}

//if IE4+
document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false")

//if NS6
if (window.sidebar){
document.onmousedown=disableselect
document.onclick=reEnable
}
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

/***********************************************

***********************************************/

function formCheck(formobj){
// Enter name of mandatory fields
var fieldRequired = Array("txtname", "txtemail", "txtphone",
"txtcountry");
// Enter field description to appear in the dialog box
var fieldDescription = Array("Full Name", "E-mail", "Phone Number",
"Country");
// dialog message
var alertMsg = "Please complete the following fields:\n";

var l_Msg = alertMsg.length;

for (var i = 0; i < fieldRequired.length; i++){
var obj = formobj.elements[fieldRequired[i]];
if (obj){
switch(obj.type){
case "select-one":
if (obj.selectedIndex == -1 || obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].text
== ""){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
}
break;
case "select-multiple":
if (obj.selectedIndex == -1){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
}
break;
case "text":
case "textarea":
if (obj.value == "" || obj.value == null){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
}
break;
default:
}
if (obj.type == undefined){
var blnchecked = false;
for (var j = 0; j < obj.length; j++){
if (obj[j].checked){
blnchecked = true;
}
}
if (!blnchecked){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
}

14KB post containing only 14 additional words, all of which appeared to
be directly in response to the first paragraph of the original post.
Trimming out quoted material that is not being directly commented upon
is normal practice and reduces bandwidth and storage requirements for
everyone using the group (and all the news servers carrying it). And it
also reduces the need to scroll through masses of text and code looking
for comments that are not there.

I ask Tweedledee, and Tweedledum answers.
But point is taken,
