form required fields not working

Hi;
I hope someone can offer some assistance. I have a form that is supposed to send up an alert if the fields are not filled in. This form information, when submitted, goes to a Lotus Notes database. Can someone please tell me if I have the code in the right spots?
Thank you in advance for any help.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”JavaScript”>
<!– Begin
function checkinput() {
if (document.register.FIRST_NAME.value.length < 1){
alert(“Please fill in a Name”);
document.register.FIRST_NAME.focus();
return false;
}
if (document.register.LAST_NAME.value.length < 1){
alert(“Please fill in an address”);
document.register.LAST_NAME.focus();
return false;
}
if (document.register.HOME_PHONE.value.length < 1){
alert(“Please fill in a City”);
document.register.HOME_PHONE.focus();
return false;
}
if (document.register.STATE_1.value.length < 1){
alert(“Please fill in a State”);
document.register.STATE_1.focus();
return false;
}
if (document.register.COUNTRY_1.value.length < 1){
alert(“Please fill in a Country”);
document.register.COUNTRY_1.focus();
return false;
}
if (document.register.EMAIL.value.length < 1){
alert(“Please fill in an email address”);
document.register.EMAIL.focus();
return false;
}
if (document.register.CITY.value.length < 1){
alert(“Please Select a product you purchased”);
document.register.CITY.focus();
return false;
}
if (document.register.PRIMARY_ADDR_1.value.length < 1){
alert(“Please Type in a Serial Number of product”);
document.register.PRIMARY_ADDR_1.focus();
return false;
}
if (document.register.PositionWanted.value.length < 1){
alert(“Please Type in Date Purchased”);
document.register.PositionWanted.focus();
return false;
}
return true;
}
// End –>
