Form validation

I am attempting to create a form. It was working but somewhere along the way everything went blank

The only thing I changed between the time it was working, and no longer working was the submit button. But all I did was move it to the bottom of the page. I tried moving it back (to the center of the page) but that no longer works either.

I don’t see anything wrong.

Just to confirm, the javascript

[code]
function confirmSubmit() {
var bname = document.form1.bname.value;
var baddress = document.form1.baddress.value;
var city = document.form1.city.value;
var zip = document.form1.zip.value;
var state = document.form1.state.value;
var tele1 = document.form3.tele1.value;
var tele2 = document.form3.tele2.value;
var tele3 = document.form3.tele3.value;
var submit = document.form1.submit.value;

if (bname.length === 0) {
alert(“You Must Enter your Billing Information Name”);
return false;
}

if (baddress.length === 0) {
alert(“You Must Enter your Address”);
return false;
}
if (city.length === 0) {
alert(“You Must Enter your City”);
return false;
}
if (zip.length === 0) {
alert(“You Must Enter your Zip Code”);
return false;
}
if (state.length === 0) {
alert(“You Must Enter your State”);
return false;
}
if (tele1.length === 0) {
alert(“You Must Enter your Telephone”);
return false;
}
if (tele2.length === 0) {
alert(“You Must Enter your Telephone”);
return false;
}
if (tele3.length === 0) {
alert(“You Must Enter your Telephone”);
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}

@HelleshternApr 20.2010 — I'm not surprised it doesn't work. You have 4 different forms, 2 with the same name and only 1 submit button (inside one empty form). How you think it may work?

Success!
