Validation help - Javascript

Hi,

I have a form that utilizes validation as most do via javascript. This form worked totaly fine until I needed to add a dynamic div now the validation doesn't work. It does work for the first dropdown but nothing there after. I always get the error saying [form object] is null or not an object. I need help trying to figure out how to access the ojects in this form.

Now in my body I have a <form> and it's name is form1 and I also have another <form> around a drop down and it's name is change and it closes right after the drop down. I don't want to put all of the code here because it's lengthy but I'll put some of it here so that someone can help me figure out what's going on.

<script>

<!--

function validate()

{
 
//check to see if the drop down was selected.
 
len = document.form1.program.length;

//alert(document.graderrors.school.length);

i = 0;

chosen = "none";
 
for (i = 0; i < len; i++) 

{

    if (document.form1.program[i].selected)

    {
 
        chosen = document.form1.program[i].value

        //alert(document.graderrors.school[i].value);

    } 

}

    if (chosen == "" || chosen==0 || chosen=="none") 

    {

        alert('Please select your program of study');

        return false;

    }
 
//Check for errors

if(window.document.form1.firstname.value=='')

{

        alert('Please fill out the First Name field');

        window.document.form1.firstname.focus();

        return false;

} 

else if(window.document.form1.lastname.value=='')

{

    alert('Please fill out the Last Name field.');

    window.document.form1.lastname.focus();

    return false;

}

....on and on with validation now on to some of the body

Don't nest form tags. You don't need the second form (change) if you're going to access 'program' using 'form1'.
