Re: Question on form validation

Can you move your validation server-side? If your form is rendered 
statically, the user can disable JavaScript to bypass your validation 
script. Also, just a quick tip. Cache your reference to 
'Form1.FieldName'. It is generally bad practice to resolve the same DOM 
node twice. You can cache it like so:

var field = Form1.FieldName;

And then refer to it as

 // Use triple equal for type corherced comparisons. Double euqals can 
give unexpected results
if (field.value === ""){
 	…
	field.focus();
	...
} else {
	...
}
