onsubmit function works in Firefox & Chrome but not IE7

[JC Harris]

I have a very simple form that works fine in FF and Chrome but not IE. And by 'not work' I mean that IE complains 'object expected'. What am I missing?

TIA,

 <form name="myform" onsubmit="return validate(this)" method="post">
 
 E-Mail: <input type="text" name="email" size="40" />
 Password: <input type="password" name="password" size="12" />
 
 <input type="submit" value="submit" id="my_submit"  /></p>
 
</form>
 
 
 
function validate(form)
{
  var email = form.email.value;
  var password = form.password.value;
  var errors = [];
 
  if (!checkLength(email)) {
   errors[errors.length] = "You must enter an e-mail address.";
  }
 
  if (!checkLength(password)) {
   errors[errors.length] = "You must enter a password.";
  }
 
  if (errors.length > 0) {
   reportErrors(errors);
   return false;
  }
 
  form.action ="dl4.php?f=downloads/5061h.zip&e=" + email + "&p=" + password;
 
  return true;
}

If checkLength() and reportErrors() are present, there should be no error. Otherwise you must show a live example.
